While the film mostly focuses on character-driven storylines and political power plays, it can't fully resist the current trend of highlighting identity themes. A few casting and character choices seem intended to signal modern sensibilities, but the plot remains largely intact. Still, the prioritization of representation over character depth in certain cases is noticeable.

The film depicts authority, tradition, and masculinity in a somewhat negative light and often frames them as dangers to be overcome. Family and traditional morality take a back seat to larger ideological messages. However, it doesn’t aggressively deconstruct every cultural foundation, the critique is present but not overwhelming.

There’s a clear preference for characters who toe an anti-establishment, modern moral line. Alternative or dissenting perspectives are rarely given sympathetic treatment and often lack nuance, veering toward caricature. Some minor moments of complexity exist but are overshadowed by the overall uniform messaging.
