Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's primary focus is on the existential horror of human vulnerability against the indifference of nature and the immediate consequences of human error, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or offering a societal solution.
The film features traditional casting with a white, heterosexual couple in the lead roles. Its narrative is a straightforward survival story that does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it incorporate explicit diversity, equity, or inclusion themes.
Secondary
Open Water does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on a heterosexual couple's struggle for survival, resulting in no depiction of queer identity or experiences within the film.
The film "Open Water" focuses on a couple's harrowing struggle for survival after being left adrift at sea. It does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative.
The film focuses on a couple, Susan and Daniel, stranded at sea. The narrative centers on their struggle for survival against nature, primarily sharks and exposure. There are no scenes depicting a female character engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
The film "Open Water" is based on the real-life disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan. The main characters, Daniel and Susan, are portrayed with the same genders as their real-life counterparts, Tom and Eileen, respectively. No established character's gender was altered from the source material.
Open Water (2003) is an original film inspired by a true event, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material with established characters. The main characters were created for this film, thus lacking a prior canonical or historical race to be altered.
