Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative revolves around an apolitical adventure and individual determination, focusing on the protagonist's journey and personal growth rather than promoting specific political ideologies or critiquing systemic issues.
The movie features a prominent non-white actor in a lead role that is traditionally associated with a white character. However, its narrative maintains a largely neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on adventure rather than explicit social critique.
Secondary
The character Princess Aouda, canonically Indian in Jules Verne's novel, is portrayed by Shirley MacLaine, a white actress. This constitutes a race swap.
The film explicitly depicts the Hindu practice of Sati (widow burning) in India as a barbaric and oppressive ritual. The narrative strongly condemns this practice, positioning the protagonists as heroes for intervening to save a woman from it, without offering counterbalancing nuance for the broader faith.
The 1956 film "Around the World in 80 Days" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is a straightforward adventure focusing on Phileas Fogg's global journey and his eventual romance with Aouda, with no elements pertaining to queer identity.
Around the World in 80 Days (1956) is an adventure film centered on a wager to circumnavigate the globe. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the movie's plot or character arcs, resulting in a net impact of N/A for its portrayal of such themes.
The film does not depict any female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Female roles, such as Princess Aouda, are primarily supportive or romantic, and they do not participate in direct physical confrontations.
The 1956 film adaptation of Jules Verne's novel maintains the original genders for its primary characters, including Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, Princess Aouda, and Inspector Fix, without any changes to their established gender.
