Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative critiques systemic injustice and the abuse of power within the carceral system, championing solidarity and the exposure of corruption as solutions, which aligns with left-leaning themes.

The movie features a diverse ensemble cast that reflects the original story's characters. Its narrative strongly addresses themes of historical racial injustice and critiques the abuse of power by authority figures, particularly through its portrayal of antagonists and a central historical subplot.

Secondary

The film 'Holes' does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the protagonist's experiences at a juvenile detention camp and the historical backstory, without any elements pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity or issues.

The film 'Holes' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its plot centers on adventure, family history, and overcoming adversity, with no elements pertaining to transsexual identity or experiences.

The film features powerful female characters like the Warden and Kissin' Kate Barlow. However, their influence and victories are achieved through authority, manipulation, or the use of firearms, not through direct physical combat against male opponents. No female character engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights.

The film "Holes" is a direct adaptation of Louis Sachar's novel. All major characters, including Stanley Yelnats, Zero, the Warden, and Kissin' Kate Barlow, maintain their established genders from the source material. There are no instances of characters being portrayed as a different gender than their canonical depiction.

The film adaptation of "Holes" accurately portrays the races of its major characters as established in Louis Sachar's novel. No character canonically or widely established as one race in the source material is depicted as a different race in the movie.
