Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film critiques an oppressive, totalitarian religious institution that controls society and suppresses truth, championing individual rebellion and freedom against dogmatic authority. This anti-authoritarian stance against a specific type of institutional power aligns with left-leaning themes.
The film features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily critiques an oppressive religious institution rather than traditional identities, which are generally portrayed neutrally or positively within the story's context.
Secondary
The film features the Priestess, a highly trained combatant, who successfully engages and defeats multiple male opponents, including human familiars and vampires, in direct physical combat using melee weapons and martial arts.
The film depicts 'The Church,' an authoritarian institution with Christian iconography, as oppressive, dogmatic, and corrupt. Its leaders suppress truth and maintain power through fear, positioning the institution as a primary antagonist and an obstacle to justice.
The film "Priest" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on a dystopian, religiously-controlled society and the conflict between humans and vampires, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film "Priest" (2011) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on a post-apocalyptic world, vampires, and a warrior priest's quest, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film "Priest" (2011) is an adaptation of a comic series. While it introduces new characters and alters some roles, no established character from the source material who was canonically one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the movie.
The film "Priest" (2011) adapts a Korean manhwa. Key characters like Ivan Isaacs, Lucy Pace, and Black Hat are portrayed by actors of the same race as their source material depictions. The character Priestess is an original creation for the film, not a race-swapped existing character.
