Primary
The film focuses on universal, apolitical themes of aging, regret, and the search for identity and meaning, without promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology. Its narrative is deeply personal and existential, offering no clear political problem or solution.
The movie features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily follows a traditional male protagonist's journey, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
