Progressive
Primary
The film receives a -1 (Left-Leaning) rating because its central narrative critiques colonial expansion and champions indigenous resistance against historical injustice, aligning with progressive values.
The movie features a diverse cast reflecting its historical subject matter, focusing on Native American characters without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative strongly critiques the actions of the US government and military, highlighting the negative impact of colonial expansion on the Apache people.
Secondary
The film depicts many Christian-identifying characters (settlers, soldiers) as hypocritical and cruel, using a 'civilizing' mission to justify the oppression and destruction of the Apache people. The narrative implicitly condemns these actions, reflecting negatively on the religion as practiced by the dominant culture.
