Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily functions as a historical adventure drama exploring themes of ambition, freedom, and the conflict between law and lawlessness, without explicitly promoting a modern political ideology.
The movie features a traditional cast for its historical adventure setting, with no explicit recasting of traditionally white roles with minority actors. The narrative focuses on the pirate Blackbeard and his exploits, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering strong DEI themes.
Secondary
