Gong ting dou ji (1994)

The film explores universal themes of power, ambition, and survival within a historical court setting, focusing on the corrupting influence of power and human nature rather than explicitly promoting a modern progressive or conservative political ideology.

The movie, likely of Chinese origin, features a cast that reflects its cultural setting, which is considered diverse when compared to a Western mainstream, but does not involve explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is expected to frame traditional identities neutrally or positively, without explicit critique.
