National Treasure: Book of Secrets is a traditional adventure film that celebrates American legacy and Western archetypes. It highlights the intellectual ability to act of female characters while reinforcing conventional social hierarchies and institutional respectability. However, the film's focus on Anglo-Saxon lineage and straight-centered romance limits its diversity.
