Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing systemic failures that lead to child neglect and exploitation, advocating for the rights of the marginalized, and demanding accountability from both parents and the state.

The movie authentically portrays the diverse demographics of its Lebanese setting through its casting of Middle Eastern and African actors, many of whom are non-professionals. Its narrative focuses on critiquing systemic poverty, child neglect, and social injustice affecting marginalized communities, rather than explicitly targeting or critiquing traditional identities.

Secondary

Capernaum does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely dedicated to depicting the harsh realities of poverty, child labor, and the refugee crisis through the eyes of its young protagonist, Zain. Therefore, the film's net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.

Capernaum does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on the struggles of a young boy in Beirut's slums, focusing on issues of poverty, child neglect, and the legal system. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Capernaum is an original story with characters created specifically for this film. There is no prior source material (like a book, comic, or historical record) from which characters' genders could have been established and subsequently changed.

Capernaum is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish a character's race before their portrayal in this film. Therefore, no race swap occurred.
