Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a critique of patriarchal, authoritarian power and traditional religious dogma, advocating for individual liberation and a more compassionate, inclusive worldview through its narrative of rebellion against a tyrannical God.
The movie features a visible diversity in its supporting cast. Its central narrative strongly critiques traditional patriarchal authority by portraying God as an abusive male figure, with the story driven by his daughter's efforts to establish a more compassionate world.
Secondary
The film features a gay apostle whose journey to find love is central to his arc. While God is depicted as homophobic, his daughter Ea actively works to counter this prejudice, allowing the character to achieve a happy and affirming same-sex relationship. The portrayal is ultimately positive, validating queer love and challenging bigotry.
The film satirically portrays the traditional Abrahamic God as a cruel, petty, and abusive figure whose arbitrary rules cause human suffering. The narrative critiques institutionalized religion built on fear and dogma, advocating for a more compassionate and individualistic spirituality through the actions of God's daughter.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film reimagines biblical figures and concepts, but its main characters (God, Jesus) retain their traditionally established genders. New characters, such as God's daughter Ea and her new apostles, are original creations for the film's narrative, not gender-swapped versions of existing canonical figures.
The film features original characters created for its unique satirical narrative. While it reimagines religious figures, their race was not canonically established in source material, nor are they historical figures being adapted. No character with a previously established race is portrayed differently.
