Primary
The film primarily focuses on the universal human cost of war and individual acts of sacrifice and moral courage in the face of extreme barbarity, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or solution, leading to a neutral rating.
The film features a cast that is diverse due to its historical Chinese setting, without explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditional roles. Its narrative portrays the main male protagonist positively, focusing on his redemption and heroism rather than critiquing traditional identities.
