Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with conservative values, emphasizing individual responsibility, hard work, and the importance of family and tradition within a rural ranching context, which serves as the decisive factor for its right-leaning rating.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast, consistent with its rural setting. The narrative focuses on traditional family dynamics and coming-of-age themes, presenting traditional identities in a neutral to positive light without explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The 2006 film 'Flicka' adapts the novel 'My Friend Flicka,' changing the main protagonist from Ken McLaughlin (male) in the source material to Katy McLaughlin (female). This constitutes a gender swap for a central character.
