Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
Miller's Crossing receives a neutral rating because its central themes revolve around apolitical concepts of loyalty, betrayal, and individual survival within a corrupt criminal underworld, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or solution.
The film features a cast predominantly composed of traditional identities, consistent with its genre and historical setting, without intentional recasting for diversity. The narrative explores themes of loyalty and power within a crime syndicate, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays antisemitic slurs and prejudice against the Jewish character Bernie Bernbaum by other characters. The narrative clearly frames this bigotry as wrong and hateful, positioning the audience to condemn the prejudice rather than the religion itself.
Miller's Crossing is a period gangster film primarily focused on mob politics, loyalty, and heterosexual relationships. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, nor does it explore queer identity in any capacity. Therefore, the film has no discernible impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Miller's Crossing is a neo-noir gangster film set during Prohibition, focusing on crime, loyalty, and power struggles. The movie does not feature any transsexual characters, nor does it explore themes related to transgender identity. Therefore, there is no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Miller's Crossing is an original screenplay by the Coen Brothers. All characters were created for this film, meaning there are no pre-existing canonical or historical figures whose gender could have been altered.
