High Life does feature diverse characters, but the film is more concerned with existential dread and human depravity than box-ticking. Some choices, like the focus on sexuality and gender, feel pointed, though they're woven into the broader themes. The story doesn't seem drastically hijacked by ideology, but identity does get conspicuous attention.

Traditional concepts like family, masculinity, and religion are largely deconstructed or depicted in bleak terms. The film pushes boundaries on gender dynamics and moral norms, sometimes just for shock value. It’s not a total takedown, but the traditional gets little love here.

Most characters are painted as morally compromised or lost, and the movie doesn't offer much space for positive, traditionally grounded alternatives. The tone leans nihilistic rather than merely ideological, but there isn’t much diversity in value systems or worldview.
