Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central conflict critiques humanity's xenophobia and the abuse of state power against intelligent, vulnerable beings, advocating for empathy and understanding over fear and control.

The movie features traditional casting practices typical of its release era, with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative explores themes of human prejudice and fear when confronted with intelligent 'others,' offering a broad critique of human nature rather than specifically targeting traditional identities.

Secondary

The film 'Escape from the Planet of the Apes' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on science fiction concepts and social commentary unrelated to queer identity, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.

The film's primary female character, Zira, is an intelligent chimpanzee scientist. Her role involves intellectual and emotional conflict, not physical combat. No female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.

The film features established characters like Cornelius and Zira, whose genders remain consistent with previous installments. New human and ape characters introduced in this film do not have prior canonical genders to be swapped from.

The film features ape characters portrayed by actors in makeup and human characters. No character, whether ape or human, was established as one race in prior canon or source material and then portrayed as a different race in this installment.
