Primary
The film's central themes of unconditional loyalty, the human-animal bond, and the process of grief and remembrance are universal and apolitical, making it neutral in terms of political bias. It does not explicitly promote or critique any specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast in an American setting, without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on universal themes of loyalty and companionship, portraying traditional identities in a neutral to positive light without incorporating or critiquing DEI themes.
Secondary
