Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative critiques religious fundamentalism and intolerance, championing scientific inquiry and reason as antidotes to societal decay and violence, aligning its dominant themes with secular-progressive values.

The movie features a visibly diverse cast that aligns with its historical setting in Roman Egypt, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. Its narrative primarily critiques religious fundamentalism and the suppression of knowledge, rather than explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.

Secondary

The film portrays the rise of Christianity in 4th-century Alexandria as a period of escalating violence, intolerance, and destruction of knowledge. It depicts Christian mobs persecuting Jews and pagans, culminating in the brutal murder of Hypatia, presenting the faith's institutional power as oppressive and destructive.

Judaism is depicted as a community that suffers persecution and violence at the hands of ascendant Christian factions. The narrative frames this bigotry as wrong, positioning the audience to sympathize with the Jewish community as victims.

The film "Agora" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on historical events in ancient Alexandria, particularly the life of Hypatia and the religious conflicts of the era, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.

The film 'Agora' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on historical events, religious conflicts, and the life of Hypatia of Alexandria, with no elements related to transgender identity.

The film focuses on Hypatia, a philosopher and scholar, who does not engage in physical combat. Other female characters are present but do not participate in any direct physical confrontations or combat scenes against male opponents.

Agora is a historical drama centered on Hypatia of Alexandria. All major historical figures depicted in the film, including Hypatia, Orestes, and Cyril, maintain their historically documented genders. No established character undergoes a gender change.

The film "Agora" is a historical drama depicting real figures from 4th-5th century Alexandria. Analysis of key historical characters and their on-screen portrayals reveals no instances where a character's established race was changed.
