Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film's core subject matter of individual psychopathy, sexual obsession, and psychological manipulation is largely apolitical, and the narrative does not champion a specific political solution or ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with traditional casting practices, and does not incorporate intentional race or gender swaps for established roles. Its narrative focuses on a psychological thriller plot, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
Basic Instinct 2 features a central bisexual character, Catherine Tramell, whose sexual identity is primarily depicted as a tool for manipulation and a characteristic of her dangerous, amoral nature. The film reinforces negative stereotypes by linking bisexuality with villainy and deception, offering no affirming or counterbalancing portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals or relationships.
Basic Instinct 2 does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transgender identity, leading to an N/A rating for its net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Basic Instinct 2 is a direct sequel where the returning main character, Catherine Tramell, maintains her established gender. All other significant characters are new to this installment and do not have prior canonical genders to be swapped.
