Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, a legal drama concerning a doctor accused of murder, is inherently neutral, focusing on the pursuit of truth and justice through established legal means rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast, consistent with its era, without explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on its primary plot without critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays transsexual characters and themes in a problematic light. Gender transition is framed as a controversial medical practice central to a murder trial, with a transsexual woman's identity intrinsically linked to the crime. The narrative sensationalizes the topic, using it as a dramatic device for a legal thriller rather than offering an affirming or empathetic perspective.
