Leans Traditional
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by exploring the profound moral ambiguities of World War II and its aftermath, critiquing both the initial tyranny and the subsequent excesses of post-war vengeance and mob justice, without championing a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting that is historically appropriate for its World War II setting, without incorporating explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores the complexities of war, resistance, and human morality, rather than focusing on explicit critiques of traditional identities or centering modern DEI themes.
Secondary
