Leans Left
Primary
The series, while portraying universal themes of compassion and challenging hypocrisy, primarily reinforces traditional Christian narratives and values, appealing to a faith-based audience often associated with conservative cultural discourse in the US, thus aligning it as right-leaning.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its casting choices, which feature a diverse ensemble reflecting the historical ethnicity of biblical figures, thereby challenging traditional Western cinematic portrayals. The narrative, while emphasizing themes of inclusion and compassion inherent to its religious source material, does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
Historical figures from ancient Judea, traditionally understood as Middle Eastern, are portrayed by actors of various different racial backgrounds, including South Asian, Black, and Indigenous/Latino.
The Chosen, a historical drama depicting the life of Jesus and his disciples, does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on traditional biblical interpretations, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the series.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Chosen portrays biblical figures such as Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles. All major characters maintain their historically and canonically established genders, with no instances of a character being depicted as a different gender than their source material.
