'Burn' largely avoids the typical identity-driven storylines so common nowadays. Characters are motivated by personal struggles rather than modern ideological talking points. Casting choices appear talent-based and character arcs focus on individual psychology instead of ticking diversity boxes. Doesn't feel like it's pushing any overt agenda here.

The film doesn't take noticeable jabs at traditional values, religion, or masculinity. If anything, it leans on gritty realism and explores flawed, believable people. It’s not interested in lecturing viewers or upending cultural norms, instead, it’s content to wallow in its own tense atmosphere.

There is no apparent effort to present only one worldview or to demonize traditional perspectives. The focus is on suspense and individual character development rather than promoting or mocking any ideology. Refreshingly non-woke in that sense.
