Primary
The film's dominant themes align with conservative values by championing strong, decisive, and patriotic leadership as the solution to national crisis, emphasizing national unity and unwavering resolve against external threats.
Darkest Hour is a historical drama that adheres to traditional casting consistent with its 1940s British setting and the historical figures depicted. The narrative focuses on a traditional white, male leader in a largely positive and heroic light, without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes.
Secondary

While not a religious drama, the implicit presence of Christian values, such as moral fortitude and the fight against tyranny, is presented as part of the national spirit being defended, without any negative portrayal or critique.
Although Jewish characters are not central, the film's narrative unequivocally condemns Nazi Germany, whose ideology was rooted in virulent antisemitism.
