Center
Primary
The film's central conflict, an android's centuries-long quest for human rights and recognition, aligns with progressive values of expanding personhood and challenging societal prejudice. While the solution emphasizes individual effort and integration, the core advocacy for an 'other' to gain equal standing positions it as left-leaning.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative centers on a robot's quest for humanity and explores themes of identity and discrimination against artificial intelligence, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional human identities.
Secondary
Bicentennial Man does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on a robot's quest for humanity and love, with all romantic relationships depicted as heterosexual. Therefore, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate within the film's narrative.
The film 'Bicentennial Man' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a robot's desire to become human, undergoing physical and emotional changes to achieve this, which is distinct from gender identity transitions.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film 'Bicentennial Man' is an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's novella. All major characters, including Andrew, Little Miss, and Sir, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. There are no instances of characters being portrayed as a different gender than their canonical depiction.
The film is an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's novellas. The source material does not explicitly define the race of its human characters, nor does the concept of a 'race swap' apply to the robot protagonist. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
