Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central comedic premise is the consistent satire and ridicule of its protagonist's outdated, bigoted, and colonialist attitudes, thereby aligning its dominant themes with progressive values through humor.
The movie employs traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps for its main roles. However, its narrative subtly critiques traditional identities and colonialist attitudes through the satirical portrayal of its bumbling protagonist, whose outdated views are consistently the source of humor.
Secondary
The film uses OSS 117's outdated and bigoted views, including homophobia and gender essentialism, as a primary source of humor. While satirizing the character's ignorance, the narrative often relies on problematic stereotypes and the protagonist's disgust for comedic effect, resulting in a net negative portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The film features a character, Dolores, whose gender presentation is used for comedic effect, primarily through the protagonist's ignorance and discomfort. The humor stems from the 'reveal' of Dolores's perceived biological sex, positioning her identity as a punchline rather than depicting her with dignity or complexity.
The film satirizes anti-Semitic stereotypes through its bumbling protagonist, OSS 117. By making his prejudiced remarks appear absurd and ignorant, the narrative implicitly condemns bigotry and positions the audience to sympathize with the Jewish characters and their heritage.
The film features female characters, notably Dolores K. Von Schlick, who are involved in the espionage plot. While capable and active, their roles do not include scenes where they physically defeat one or more male opponents in close-quarters combat. Victories are not achieved through hand-to-hand or melee weapon skills.
The film features the established male protagonist, OSS 117, who remains male. All other significant characters appear to be original to this installment or its immediate predecessor, with no indication of their gender being altered from prior canon.
This film is a sequel in a parody series based on a French spy character. No characters canonically, historically, or widely established as one race are portrayed as a different race in this installment.
