Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film leans left due to its central exploration of the exploitation and objectification of women within a corrupt, patriarchal system, and its empathetic portrayal of a marginalized character's struggle for autonomy and identity.
The movie features a predominantly white cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on psychological suspense and character study, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Klute features Arlyn Page, a transsexual woman whose identity is revealed as a plot point during a murder investigation. Her portrayal is neutral; while her identity is presented as a 'secret' contributing to the film's gritty realism, it neither affirms trans lives with dignity nor actively denigrates them with malice or mockery. She is primarily a victim within the narrative.
Klute does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a detective's investigation and a call girl's psychological journey, without engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Klute is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of existing material or a biopic. All characters were created for this film, thus lacking any prior canonical or historical gender to be swapped from.
Klute is an original film from 1971, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material or a historical account. Its characters did not have a previously established race to be altered.
