Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: Medium

The film maintains a neutral stance by focusing on universal human themes of survival, love, and sacrifice in the face of an existential threat, showcasing both collective governmental action and individual heroism without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

The movie demonstrates significant diversity through its casting, most notably by featuring a Black actor in the role of the President of the United States, which represents an explicit recasting of a traditionally white role. However, the film's narrative primarily focuses on a global catastrophe and humanity's collective response, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High
