Center
Primary
The film presents a classic adventure narrative where an individual hero fights against a corrupt, aristocratic cabal to ensure justice and California's integration into the United States, balancing themes of anti-exploitation with individual responsibility and national unity.
The film features casting that aligns with the historical and cultural context of its characters, without explicit race or gender swaps for DEI purposes. Its narrative focuses on a traditional hero's journey against corruption, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively, and does not incorporate strong, explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film features Elena de la Vega, who is a skilled swordswoman. She is shown to engage in and win multiple close-quarters physical combat encounters against groups of male opponents throughout the movie.
The film portrays Christianity, specifically Catholicism, as a positive and integral part of the community. Priests like Father Felipe are depicted as benevolent, supportive figures who offer moral guidance and aid to the common people, aligning with the virtues of the faith.
The Legend of Zorro does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered on a heterosexual couple and their family, with no elements that could be interpreted as LGBTQ+ representation, resulting in a 'N/A' rating.
The film features established characters like Zorro and Elena, who retain their canonical genders from previous installments. New characters introduced in this sequel do not constitute gender swaps.
The main characters, Zorro (Alejandro Murrieta) and Elena Montero, are consistently portrayed by actors whose racial backgrounds align with the characters' established Spanish heritage from source material and previous installments. No significant character's race was altered from their canonical or historical depiction.
