Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film implicitly critiques social determinism and the impact of marginalization, themes often discussed in progressive discourse, but it does so without promoting any explicit political agenda or offering solutions, maintaining a neutral, observational, and fatalistic tone.
The movie primarily features traditional casting with no prominent characters from diverse racial backgrounds. Its narrative explores themes of social class and gender dynamics, offering a nuanced critique of systemic inequalities and traditional gender roles, without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
Beating Hearts portrays trans women as strong and resilient, confronting bigoted antagonists with empowerment. However, the film simultaneously perpetuates harmful stereotypes, including misgendering and transmedicalist views, suggesting trans women are 'really just men.' This creates a mixed portrayal where positive depictions of strength are undermined by problematic elements, leading to a neutral net impact on trans themes.
Beating Hearts primarily focuses on a heterosexual romantic relationship and its social context. Available sources do not indicate the presence of explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes, suggesting the film does not engage with LGBTQ+ representation in its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film 'Beating Hearts' appears to feature original characters. There is no indication that it is an adaptation, biopic, or reboot where pre-existing characters with established genders have been portrayed as a different gender.
The film "Beating Hearts" is an original production set in a late 1980s French town, featuring a diverse cast including Black characters. There is no indication it is an adaptation of existing material or based on historical figures where character races were previously established. Therefore, the inclusion of diverse characters does not constitute a race swap.
