Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on an individual's struggle for survival against a dogmatic, oppressive organization, without explicitly promoting a broader political ideology. Its themes of individual power and self-preservation, rather than systemic critique or social justice, position it as neutral.
The movie features visible diversity in its cast, including a prominent Black actor in a key antagonist role. However, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles or center its narrative around critiques of traditional identities, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of its white male protagonist.
Secondary
The character Roland Cox, who is the film's antagonist and an adaptation of the novel's Brian Cox, was canonically white in the source material. In the 2008 film, the character is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, a Black actor, constituting a race swap.
The film depicts the Paladins, a secret society, as religiously-motivated antagonists who use Christian rhetoric to justify their violent persecution of 'Jumpers.' Their fanaticism is portrayed as oppressive and cruel, positioning this interpretation of faith as a destructive force.
The film 'Jumper' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered on a heterosexual romance and sci-fi action, resulting in no portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements within its plot or character arcs.
The film "Jumper" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on science fiction elements, including teleportation and a conflict between super-powered individuals and an ancient organization, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences.
The film features female characters such as Millie Harris and Mary Rice. Millie is a civilian and does not engage in combat. Mary Rice, a Paladin, primarily uses specialized equipment and tracking abilities to confront Jumpers, rather than direct physical combat or martial arts against male opponents.
The film "Jumper" is an adaptation of Steven Gould's novel. All major characters from the source material, such as David Rice, Millie Harris, and Roland Cox, retain their established genders in the movie. New characters introduced in the film do not constitute gender swaps.
