Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis critiques religious fundamentalism and the destructive nature of holy war, advocating instead for tolerance, reason, and a 'kingdom of conscience' that protects all people, aligning with progressive values.

The film features historically appropriate casting without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers a nuanced portrayal of traditional identities, critiquing certain historical figures while presenting others positively, and also features a positively framed non-traditional identity.

Secondary

The film critiques the fanaticism and hypocrisy of certain Christian factions, such as the Templars and Guy de Lusignan, but simultaneously portrays noble Christian ideals through characters like Balian and King Baldwin IV, who embody justice, compassion, and peace. The narrative condemns the abuse of faith, not the faith itself.

Islam and its adherents, particularly Saladin, are depicted with respect, honor, and moral integrity. Saladin is portrayed as a just and merciful leader, contrasting sharply with the fanaticism and corruption of some Christian characters.

The film "Kingdom of Heaven" is a historical epic set during the Crusades, focusing on political and religious conflicts and heterosexual relationships. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the narrative, leading to a determination of N/A for its portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements.

Kingdom of Heaven, a historical drama set in the 12th century, does not include any transsexual characters or explore themes related to transsexual identity. The narrative focuses entirely on the historical events of the Crusades, political intrigue, and religious conflict.

The film features prominent female characters, such as Sibylla, but none are depicted engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Their roles are primarily political and dramatic.

Kingdom of Heaven is a historical drama depicting real historical figures from the Crusades. All major and significant characters are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their historical counterparts, with no instances of gender alteration.

The film portrays historical figures from the Crusades, with actors cast to align with the documented racial and ethnic backgrounds of those characters (e.g., European characters by white actors, Middle Eastern characters by Middle Eastern actors). No character established as one race is depicted as a different race.
