Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film is a romantic supernatural thriller primarily focused on themes of enduring love, personal justice, and the afterlife, without engaging in broader political or societal critiques. Its central conflict and resolution are apolitical, centering on individual moral choices and spiritual closure.
The movie includes visible diversity through a prominent supporting role played by a Black actress. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to its plot. The overall approach to representation and narrative framing indicates a light presence of DEI.
Secondary
The film's depiction of the afterlife, featuring souls ascending to a 'light' or being dragged to 'shadows' based on their deeds, strongly aligns with Christian eschatology. This spiritual framework is presented as the objective reality of the film's world and is portrayed positively as the ultimate destination for the protagonist.
The film 'Ghost' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on a heterosexual couple and a supernatural plot, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity to evaluate.
The film 'Ghost' (1990) does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its plot or character arcs. Consequently, there is no portrayal of transgender identity to evaluate, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for its net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Ghost (1990) is an original screenplay, not an adaptation or reboot. All characters were created for this film, establishing their genders within its original narrative. There are no instances where a character's gender deviates from a previously established canonical, historical, or widely recognized gender.
Ghost (1990) is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. Therefore, its characters did not have established races prior to this film's creation, meaning no race swaps occurred.
