Leans Right
Primary
The film immerses the viewer in a brutal, mythic world of vengeance and fate, exploring universal themes without explicitly promoting a modern political ideology. Its focus on the protagonist's fated journey and the exploration of a specific cultural mindset, rather than advocating for a particular political solution or critique, leads to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast consistent with its historical Viking setting, without any explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on a traditional male hero's quest for revenge, portraying traditional identities and themes without modern DEI critiques.
Secondary
The Northman does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on heterosexual relationships and a revenge plot, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
The film does not depict any female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents. Female characters are present but do not participate in close-quarters fighting roles.
The Northman is an adaptation of the Amleth legend. All major characters, including Amleth, King Aurvandil, Queen Gudrún, and Fjölnir, maintain the same gender as established in the historical and literary source material.
The Northman is a historical epic based on a Norse legend. All major characters are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the historical and legendary context of the Viking Age in Northern Europe. No characters established as one race in source material or history are depicted as a different race.
