Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

The film is left-leaning as it centers on an American Marine deserter during WWII who prioritizes individual freedom and love over military duty, thereby critiquing the demands of war and institutional authority.

The movie features primarily traditional casting with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of roles. The narrative does not appear to critically portray traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The film 'Rebel' (1985) does not appear to feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a heterosexual romance set against the backdrop of WWII, with no information suggesting queer representation.

Based on the available information, there is insufficient data to evaluate the film's portrayal of transsexual characters or themes. No details regarding such content were provided, preventing an assessment of its net impact.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The provided information for 'Rebel, 1985' does not include details about any source material, previous adaptations, or historical figures. Without this context, it is impossible to determine if any character's gender was changed from a prior established version.

The film "Rebel" (1985) is not an adaptation of a prior work with established character races, nor is it a biopic of historical figures. Consequently, there are no characters whose race was canonically or widely established before this production, meaning no race swaps occurred.
