Primary
The film's central conflict explicitly portrays racism and xenophobia against Chinese immigrants in the United States, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values of social justice and the defense of marginalized communities. While the narrative often champions individual heroism as a solution, the core problem addressed firmly places the film in a left-leaning context.
The film features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting the cultural clashes between Chinese immigrants and American society. Its narrative explicitly critiques traditional white identities by portraying white characters as antagonists embodying racism and xenophobia, making themes of racial discrimination central to the plot.
