Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film leans left due to its central critique of corporate exploitation and its strong emphasis on Hawaiian sovereignty and environmental protection, aligning with progressive values despite a largely individualistic resolution to its conflicts.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast, notably drawing criticism for casting a white actress in a mixed-race role, which undermined authentic representation. Its narrative centers on white protagonists, with Hawaiian culture serving as a backdrop, and does not offer significant critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Aloha does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on heterosexual romantic relationships and other plot elements, resulting in no direct portrayal of queer identity.
The film "Aloha" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The plot focuses on a military contractor's return to Hawaii and his romantic entanglements, without incorporating any elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Aloha is an original film with characters created specifically for this story. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender could have been altered for this adaptation.
The film "Aloha" features original characters created for the movie. While the casting of Emma Stone as Allison Ng, a character written as part-Asian and part-Hawaiian, sparked controversy regarding whitewashing, it does not meet the definition of a 'race swap' as there was no prior canonical or historical establishment of the character's race before this film.
