Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly promotes conservative ideology by championing divine law and traditional Judeo-Christian values as the absolute foundation for a just and free society, contrasting them with secular tyranny and moral decay.
The movie employs traditional casting practices of its era, featuring predominantly white actors in all significant roles. Its narrative focuses on a classic heroic journey and the liberation of an oppressed group, without critically portraying traditional identities or explicitly centering modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features numerous biblical and historical figures, including Moses and Ramses II, who are historically understood as Middle Eastern or North African. These roles were predominantly cast with white actors, constituting a race swap.
