Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
American Hustle receives a neutral rating because its central themes of individual reinvention, corruption, and pragmatism are explored through a lens of moral ambiguity, focusing on character-driven choices within a flawed system rather than promoting a specific political ideology or solution.
American Hustle features a traditional cast with no explicit race or gender swaps for established roles. The narrative does not critique traditional identities or center around explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on its period-specific plot and character dynamics.
Secondary
American Hustle does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on heterosexual relationships, con artistry, and political corruption, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
American Hustle does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on con artists and FBI operations in the late 1970s, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
American Hustle features characters inspired by real individuals involved in the Abscam operation. All major characters, whether based on historical figures or original creations, maintain the same gender as their real-life inspirations or are new characters without a pre-established gender to swap.
The film features fictionalized characters inspired by real individuals involved in the ABSCAM scandal. All major characters are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the historical figures who served as inspiration, and no established canonical characters from prior source material had their race changed.
