The film presents a traditional historical reconstruction that upholds the established social order. It emphasizes the political maneuvering of the British ruling class, resulting in a narrow demographic focus. While the film remains historically accurate, this adherence limits its diversity. The narrative structure reinforces existing hierarchies without challenging them, leading to a low diversity score. Ultimately, the film serves as a study of traditional power dynamics but fails to provide intersectional representation or disrupt conventional historical narratives.
