Primary
The film's central narrative validates the resurrection of Jesus through a Roman tribune's personal journey of faith, emphasizing individual spiritual transformation and traditional religious belief, which aligns with conservative cultural values.
The movie incorporates visible diversity in its casting for central biblical figures, though this does not appear to be an explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on its historical and spiritual themes without critiquing social structures.
Secondary
Historically, several key biblical figures, including Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of Jesus, who were Middle Eastern, are portrayed by white European actresses. Jesus, also historically Middle Eastern, is portrayed by a Maori actor. These portrayals constitute race swaps.
The film's narrative arc follows a Roman tribune's journey from skepticism to belief, ultimately affirming the resurrection of Jesus and the genuine faith of his early followers. It portrays Christianity with reverence, emphasizing its transformative power and the integrity of its adherents.
The film largely portrays the Jewish religious establishment, particularly the Sanhedrin, as politically motivated and fearful, actively seeking Jesus's crucifixion and later attempting to suppress the truth of the resurrection. This depiction focuses on their opposition to the nascent Christian movement without significant counterbalancing nuance.
The film "Risen" is a biblical drama centered on a Roman tribune's search for Jesus's body. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or plot points, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
The film 'Risen' is a biblical drama focusing on a Roman tribune's investigation. Female characters are present in the narrative, but none are depicted engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
The film "Risen" adapts biblical events. All major characters derived from historical or canonical sources, such as Jesus, Pontius Pilate, and the apostles, are portrayed with their historically established genders. The protagonist, Clavius, is an original character.
