Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central narrative, a modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast," focuses on universal moral themes of inner beauty, personal transformation, and the redemptive power of love, which lack inherent political valence. It champions individual moral growth and empathy as solutions to narcissism and superficiality, without aligning with specific progressive or conservative ideologies.

The movie incorporates visible diversity within its cast, including a mixed-race actress in a prominent role. Its narrative primarily explores universal themes of inner beauty and personal growth, focusing on a protagonist's transformation from superficiality, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering specific DEI issues.

Secondary

The film "Beastly" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a heterosexual romance and the protagonist's personal transformation, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.

Beastly does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The story centers on a male protagonist cursed with a physical transformation and his journey to find love, without incorporating any elements related to transsexual identity or experiences.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film "Beastly" is an adaptation of Alex Flinn's novel, which itself is a modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast." All primary characters in the movie maintain the same gender as established in the source novel and the traditional fairy tale. No significant characters were portrayed with a different gender than their canonical or historical representation.

The film "Beastly" is an adaptation of Alex Flinn's novel. Key characters like Kyle Kingson and Kendra Hilferty maintain their implied or established race from the source material. For characters like Lindy Taylor and Zola, the novel does not explicitly specify their race, thus casting actors of different ethnicities does not constitute a race swap under the provided definition.
