Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around protecting a legendary sword and upholding honor against a clear antagonist, focusing on apolitical themes of good versus evil and individual skill rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The film features a diverse cast appropriate to its Wuxia genre and Asian cultural setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of martial arts and honor, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
