Traditional
Primary
The film's right-leaning bias stems from its portrayal of Christianity as the essential civilizing and unifying force for a chaotic land, emphasizing traditional religious values and strong leadership as the solution to societal disorder and the foundation of a unified nation.
The movie 'Viking' features traditional casting consistent with its historical setting in Kievan Rus', without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on historical events and figures, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without incorporating modern DEI critiques.
Secondary
