Positive Messages
Antisemitism, sexism, coercion, torture, and murder are all part and parcel of the storyline and setting. But the heroine is a brave, resourceful woman.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Nearly unrelenting violence, played out in full gore. A man is shot and his brain explodes; dead bodies are dug up from mass graves; lots of gunfire, hitting, slapping, and more.
Sex
Graphic nudity (including a urination scene and full-frontal shots of both men and women), simulated sex acts, sexual banter. Rachel/Ellis dyes her pubic hair in front of a mirror.
Language
Antisemitic hate words and swearing -- "s--t," "damn," etc. -- in subtitles.
Consumerism
No products of note, save for Cadbury and a specific kind of stamp.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Apropos for the era, there's plenty of drinking and smoking.
