The film critiques the corruption and decadence of a hereditary aristocracy and champions the rise of a meritocratic individual. While it challenges inherited privilege, its focus on a strong, individual leader replacing one autocratic system with another prevents it from aligning strongly with either progressive or conservative political ideologies, resulting in a neutral rating.
