Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Traditional

Primary

The film's central narrative champions a decisive, institutional response to domestic terrorism, emphasizing the heroic actions of law enforcement and the unified, patriotic resolve of the community, which aligns with right-leaning values of national security and law and order.

The film features primarily traditional casting, reflecting the real-life individuals involved in the Boston Marathon bombing events without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative positively frames traditional identities, focusing on the heroism of law enforcement and the community's resilience, with no explicit DEI themes central to its storytelling.

Secondary

The film depicts a radicalized, extremist interpretation of Islam as the direct motivation for the Boston Marathon bombing, portraying its adherents (the bombers) as cruel and hateful. The narrative offers no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal or nuance regarding Islam itself, focusing instead on the destructive consequences of this specific ideology.

Patriots Day, a film dramatizing the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the real-life events, victims, and law enforcement response, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the story.

Its narrative is entirely focused on the real-world events, investigation, and the individuals involved in the response. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or related themes explored within the film's plot.

The film is a docudrama focusing on the Boston Marathon bombing and subsequent manhunt. Female characters are primarily depicted as victims or in supporting non-combat roles. There are no scenes where a female character engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.

The film "Patriots Day" is based on real historical events and figures. All characters representing documented historical individuals are portrayed on screen with their actual gender. The fictional characters created for the narrative do not fall under the definition of a gender swap.
