Primary
The film's central conflicts revolve around genre-driven themes of revenge, power struggles, and individual quests for freedom and treasure. While it features critiques of exploitation, the solutions are primarily individualistic and violent, resulting in a narrative that does not strongly align with either progressive or conservative ideologies.
The film features a visibly diverse cast, appropriate for its 19th-century Chinese setting, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on action and character-driven conflicts within its genre, rather than engaging in explicit critiques of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
