In our view, 'Not to Forget' puts character depth and family relationships at the forefront, without pushing modern ideological checklists. The casting and story focus on traditional themes rather than checking diversity boxes. Narrative choices seem grounded in the world of the film, with minimal evidence of identity factors overshadowing plot or character development.

The film respects themes of family duty, morality, and reconciliation, even highlighting intergenerational bonds and faith. Masculinity, family, and tradition are not depicted negatively, and instead, these concepts are used as stabilizing forces. Cultural and religious foundations remain intact, without revisionist reinterpretation or subversion for modern causes.

There is little evidence of the film villainizing traditional perspectives or pushing a single modern worldview. If anything, viewers encounter a variety of life experiences and traditional values without overt caricature or narrative punishment. This lack of ideological monoculture is refreshing compared to mainstream Hollywood output.
