Given that the subject is a specific historical figure, the narrative is inherently tied to his biography rather than a constructed fictional world. The film's diversity is limited by its biographical focus. It does not provide clear evidence of diverse casting or a focus on underrepresented communities, which results in scores reflecting a standard biographical structure.
