Center
Primary
The film's central narrative champions individual responsibility and moral accountability, culminating in the protagonist's personal confession and redemption through truth, which aligns with conservative values of self-reliance and personal ethics.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the casting of a Black actor in the prominent lead role of the pilot, which deviates from historical casting norms for such positions. However, the narrative itself does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it center explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on personal struggles.
Secondary
