Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis is a psychological drama exploring the destructive pursuit of artistic perfection and identity, which are largely apolitical themes, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative explores psychological themes of ambition and obsession within the ballet world, rather than critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film includes a hallucinatory same-sex encounter as part of the protagonist's psychological unraveling and artistic transformation. This depiction is ambiguous, serving primarily to illustrate her mental state rather than to explore or affirm LGBTQ+ identity. It neither uplifts nor denigrates queer themes, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
Black Swan is a psychological thriller about a ballerina's descent into madness. The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore related themes, therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Black Swan features original characters created for the film's narrative. It is not an adaptation of a pre-existing work with established characters, nor does it depict historical figures. Therefore, no characters undergo a gender swap.
