Center
Primary
The film's central conflict unequivocally condemns Nazism and champions the protection of persecuted minorities, aligning with core progressive values of human rights and anti-fascism. While presented as a comedy, its dominant themes are clearly left-leaning.
The movie employs traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps for its roles. Its narrative primarily frames traditional identities, such as the protagonist, in a positive light, even while addressing a significant anti-discrimination theme through its portrayal of antagonists.
Secondary
The film strongly condemns anti-Semitism by portraying Jewish characters as sympathetic victims of Nazi persecution. The narrative champions their plight and clearly positions the audience against the bigotry they face, making the film's stance affirming of the religion in the face of prejudice.
Ace of Aces is a historical comedy set during the 1936 Berlin Olympics, centered on themes of sports, espionage, and anti-Nazi sentiment. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes within its plot. Consequently, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating.
The film primarily focuses on the male protagonist's adventures and physical altercations. While female characters are present, none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film "Ace of Aces" is an original story featuring newly created characters and historical figures. There is no evidence of any character, whether fictional or historical, being established as one gender in prior canon or history and then portrayed as a different gender in this film.
Ace of Aces is an original film, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no characters were established as a particular race prior to this film's creation, precluding a race swap.
