Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its central critique of an oppressive, authoritarian, and deceptive theocratic Church, which suppresses truth and individual freedom, making anti-authoritarianism the decisive factor.
The film features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily critiques an oppressive religious institution rather than traditional identities, which are generally portrayed neutrally or positively within the story's context.
Secondary
The film features Priestess, a highly skilled warrior, who successfully engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male Familiars and vampires, utilizing martial arts and melee weapons.
The film depicts 'The Church,' an authoritarian institution with Christian iconography, as oppressive, dogmatic, and corrupt. Its leaders suppress truth and maintain power through fear, positioning the institution as a primary antagonist and an obstacle to justice.
The film "Priest" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on a dystopian, religiously-controlled society and the conflict between humans and vampires, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film "Priest" (2011) is an adaptation of a comic series. While it introduces new characters and alters some roles, no established character from the source material who was canonically one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the movie.
The film "Priest" (2011) adapts a Korean manhwa. Key characters like Ivan Isaacs, Lucy Pace, and Black Hat are portrayed by actors of the same race as their source material depictions. The character Priestess is an original creation for the film, not a race-swapped existing character.
