Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film centers on an individual's fight against a wrongful conviction, emphasizing personal agency and escape from a flawed system rather than advocating for systemic reform. Its core themes of individual innocence and reinvention are largely apolitical.
This film features traditional casting with primarily white actors in all significant roles, consistent with its production era. The narrative focuses on a classic noir plot without engaging in critiques of traditional identities or incorporating explicit diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
Dark Passage, a film noir from 1947, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its plot centers on an escaped convict, a woman who aids him, and their developing relationship, with no elements pertaining to queer identity.
Dark Passage does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The central plot point involving plastic surgery is solely for a male character to alter his physical appearance to evade capture by the police, unrelated to gender identity or transition. Therefore, the film has no direct portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1947 film "Dark Passage" is an adaptation of David Goodis's 1946 novel. All major characters in the film retain the same gender as established in the original source material.
This 1947 film, based on a novel, features characters whose on-screen portrayals align with their established or implied racial identities in the source material. No significant character's race was altered from prior canon or historical record.
