Leans Traditional
Primary
The miniseries critiques the corruption and tyranny within medieval institutions but champions individual moral integrity, perseverance, and the pursuit of justice, resulting in a balanced narrative that avoids explicit modern political alignment.
The movie features casting that aligns with traditional historical portrayals, reflecting its 12th-century English setting without explicit DEI-driven recasting. The narrative focuses on historical drama and does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicitly center modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The series offers a complex portrayal of Christianity, exposing the profound corruption and political maneuvering within the medieval Church hierarchy. However, it simultaneously affirms genuine faith, moral integrity, and the pursuit of spiritual ideals through characters like Prior Philip. The narrative condemns the abuse of religious power and hypocrisy, not the faith itself, positioning the audience to sympathize with those who uphold its virtues.
The series "The Pillars of the Earth" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on historical events, political intrigue, and personal dramas in 12th-century England, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
