Strong Right
Primary
The film critiques the corrupting nature of absolute power and depicts extreme moral decay, but it does so without advocating for specific left or right-leaning political solutions or framing the issues through a contemporary ideological lens.
The film features traditional casting that aligns with its historical setting, without intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. Its narrative critiques power and moral decay within the Roman elite but does not explicitly frame traditional identities in a negative light from a modern DEI perspective.
Secondary
The film 'Caligula' portrays same-sex relationships and characters primarily within a context of extreme hedonism, moral depravity, and tyrannical power. LGBTQ+ identity is not affirmed but rather serves to underscore the characters' villainy and the era's excess, offering no positive or dignified representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film 'Caligula' is a historical drama depicting real Roman figures. All major historical characters, such as Caligula, Tiberius, and Drusilla, are portrayed on screen with their historically documented gender, with no instances of gender swapping.
The film 'Caligula' is a historical drama set in ancient Rome. All major historical figures depicted, including Caligula, Tiberius, and Caesonia, were historically white and are portrayed by white actors in the film. There are no instances of characters being portrayed by actors of a different race than their historical or canonical background.
