Traditional
Primary
The film's narrative centers on an American veteran protecting an innocent child from a violent Mexican cartel at the border, championing individual heroism and self-reliance against external threats, which aligns with right-leaning themes of border security and personal responsibility.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast, with the main protagonist being a white male, and characters of color appearing in roles consistent with the story's setting and premise rather than through explicit recasting. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film respectfully portrays a Christian funeral service as a dignified expression of grief and community. Additionally, a young character's quiet prayer is presented sympathetically as a source of comfort and hope in a desperate situation, aligning the narrative with the faith's role in providing solace.
The film "The Marksman" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on an ex-Marine protecting a young boy from a cartel, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the storyline.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Female characters present are not involved in action sequences of this nature.
The Marksman is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. Therefore, no characters could have been established as one gender and then portrayed as another.
The Marksman (2021) is an original film not based on pre-existing source material, historical figures, or a reboot of legacy characters. All characters were created for this specific production, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical race to compare against their on-screen portrayals.
