Primary
The film's narrative, centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, champions traditional religious values, individual moral responsibility, and divine authority as the solution to humanity's problems, aligning with conservative principles.
This 1918 silent film features traditional casting, consistent with the era's practices for biblical narratives, predominantly utilizing white actors for all roles. The narrative focuses on the religious story without critiquing or challenging traditional identities, presenting them in a neutral or positive light.
Secondary
The film is a devotional portrayal of the life of Jesus Christ, aiming to affirm the core tenets and narrative of Christianity through its reverent depiction.
In depicting the Passion, the film likely portrays Jewish religious authorities as the primary antagonists responsible for Jesus's crucifixion, which, without significant counterbalancing nuance, reinforces a problematic historical narrative about Judaism's role.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
