Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing the systemic exploitation of the Amazon and its indigenous people due to unchecked capitalist expansion and government policies, highlighting environmental devastation and social injustice.

The movie features a cast that naturally reflects the diverse ethnic origins of its source material, including indigenous and European characters, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative subtly addresses colonial themes and the impact on traditional identities through a tragic love story, rather than presenting an explicit DEI critique.

Secondary

The character Iracema, canonically an indigenous Brazilian woman in the source novel, was portrayed by Catita, a white actress, in the 1931 film adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.

Based on available information, 'Iracema' by Jorge S. Konchin does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, no specific portrayal could be evaluated within the framework, resulting in an N/A rating.

The film "Iracema" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a young woman's experiences and challenges after leaving her Amazonian village for urban life, without engaging with transgender identity or related issues.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1931 film "Iracema" is an adaptation of José de Alencar's novel. There is no evidence or historical record indicating that any canonically established character from the source material had their gender changed in this adaptation.
