Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film leans left by centering an Indigenous protagonist and explicitly addressing historical racial dynamics within the Australian military, while also de-glamorizing war through unflinching depictions of its human cost, despite incorporating elements of national pride.

The movie centers on an Aboriginal Australian soldier as its protagonist, explicitly addressing racial discrimination he faces within the 1942 military context. This intentional casting choice and the narrative's focus on systemic prejudice against a minority character contribute to a strong emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Secondary

Based on available information, 'Beast of War' (2025) does not appear to feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Search results and plot summaries focus on the film's WWII survival plot and character dynamics, without any mention of queer representation.

Based on current information, 'Beast of War, 2025' does not feature any transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on Australian soldiers, racial tensions, and survival against a shark, with no indication of transgender representation in its plot or character arcs.

Based on available information, the film's cast is entirely male, focusing on male soldiers. There are no identified female characters, and consequently, no scenes depicting female characters defeating male opponents in physical combat.

The film features original characters (Australian soldiers during WWII) and is not identified as an adaptation of existing source material or historical figures. No information suggests any character's on-screen gender differs from an established canonical or historical gender.

The film features original characters with no prior source material establishing their race or appearance. Consequently, no character was canonically, historically, or widely established as one race and then portrayed as a different race.
