The Bodyguard sticks to a classic romantic thriller formula. The casting of Whitney Houston as a pop superstar feels organic, given her real-life persona, and the interracial romance is handled as a non-issue rather than an ideological statement. Character development and the central love story take precedence over identity politics or progressive messaging.

The film depicts traditional values like duty, sacrifice, and masculine protector roles. Religion and family are largely neutral. The story doesn’t undermine masculinity or mock traditional relationships, instead, it draws on those elements for emotional weight.

There’s little evidence of alternative viewpoints being mocked or villainized. The film avoids caricaturing dissenting perspectives, focusing mostly on its central romance and thriller elements. There may be some glossing over of social tensions, but nothing overt or agenda-driven.
