Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's right-leaning rating stems from its championing of traditional samurai values of duty, honor, and individual self-sacrifice as the solution to tyranny, emphasizing the restoration of moral order within an existing system rather than systemic critique.
The film features an entirely Japanese cast, consistent with its historical setting, and does not engage with Western concepts of traditional white roles or their recasting. Its narrative portrays traditional male roles within a feudal context, focusing on individual actions and societal structures rather than offering an explicit DEI critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
