Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around universal themes of childhood trauma, fear, and friendship, with its solution emphasizing personal courage and collective solidarity against a supernatural evil, rather than engaging with specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The movie features visible diversity within its main cast, notably with a Black character whose race is faithful to the source material, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on individual character development and horror themes rather than explicit critiques or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film opens with Adrian Mellon, a gay man, suffering a homophobic attack before being brutally murdered by Pennywise. While the film condemns the bullies, LGBTQ+ identity is solely linked to extreme violence, prejudice, and a tragic death. This portrayal serves primarily to establish Derry's pervasive evil, offering no positive counter-narrative or affirmation.
The film portrays Stanley Uris's Jewish identity and family traditions with respect. His recitation of the Kaddish during the Losers Club's blood oath is presented as a solemn and unifying ritual, contributing to the group's bond and resolve against Pennywise.
The film 'It' (2017) does not include any explicit transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the protagonists' struggle against a supernatural entity and their personal fears, without engaging with gender identity issues.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "It" (2017) is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel. All major characters, including the members of the Losers' Club and the entity Pennywise, maintain their established genders from the source material. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in this adaptation.
The 2017 film adaptation of Stephen King's novel "It" portrays its main characters, including Mike Hanlon, with the same racial identities established in the original source material. No character canonically or widely established as one race was depicted as a different race.
