Richard Lester's direction adds a modern twist of irony to the historical backdrop. However, the film stays within traditional gender, racial, and sexual norms. While the comedic tone can make traditional gender roles seem less rigid, the film leans heavily on genre clichés and comedic deconstruction rather than expanding on social representation.
