Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's left-leaning bias stems from its central critique of an authoritarian state that exploits the poor and manipulates public opinion through sensationalized media, championing a revolutionary solution against systemic oppression.
The movie features a visibly diverse supporting cast, though its lead and primary antagonist are traditional white male roles without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on critiquing a dystopian, oppressive system and media manipulation, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
