Leans Progressive
Primary
The film is rated -1 (Left-Leaning) as its central conflict and resolution champion the abolition of slavery and the pursuit of racial equality, aligning with progressive values of social justice and human rights.
The movie features visible diversity in its cast, reflecting the historical period and its focus on the abolition of slavery, without explicitly recasting traditional roles. Its narrative positively frames a traditional white male figure as a hero central to the cause of racial equality, rather than critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The miniseries portrays Christianity as a foundational element of American society during the Civil War, often highlighting its role in shaping moral arguments against slavery and providing solace. While some characters might misuse religious doctrine, the narrative generally aligns with the virtues of faith that inspire justice and compassion, particularly through Lincoln's own moral framework.
The film 'Lincoln' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is solely centered on historical events surrounding the abolition of slavery and the American Civil War, without any depiction or discussion of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1974 show "Lincoln" is a historical drama depicting real-life figures. All major historical characters, including Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their documented historical identity, with no instances of gender swapping.
The 1974 show "Lincoln" portrays Abraham Lincoln, a historically white figure, with a white actor (Hal Holbrook). There is no evidence of any major historical character being portrayed by an actor of a different race than their documented historical race.
