Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter is a comedic, farcical race against Lewis and Clark, focusing on the incompetence of its protagonists and the absurdity of their quest rather than any discernible political agenda, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast in traditionally white male roles, without any explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on the comedic misadventures of its white male protagonists, and it does not offer a critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicitly integrate DEI themes into its core story.
Secondary
The film "Almost Heroes" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the comedic misadventures of two explorers in the American wilderness, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The film "Almost Heroes" is a historical comedy that does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on two explorers competing with Lewis and Clark, with no elements related to transgender identity present.
The film is a comedy focused on two male protagonists' bumbling expedition. There are no significant female characters depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The film features original characters inspired by the historical Lewis and Clark expedition. The historical figure Sacagawea is portrayed as female, consistent with her documented gender. No established characters from source material or history have their gender changed.
Almost Heroes is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical figures whose race could have been altered for this production.
