Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film explores the historical persecution of Joan of Arc, focusing on the conflict between individual spiritual conviction and the rigid dogma and political machinations of institutional power. Its critique of institutional abuse and celebration of individual truth are universal themes, preventing a clear alignment with modern left or right political ideologies.

The movie features a traditional, all-white cast, consistent with its historical setting and the era of its production, without any intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative, while depicting a female protagonist challenging established male authority, does not explicitly critique traditional identities or incorporate modern DEI themes as a central element.

Secondary

The film affirms Joan's profound personal faith and her direct connection to God, portraying her as a virtuous and divinely guided figure. While it critiques the institutional Church for its rigidity, political motivations, and ultimate condemnation of Joan, the narrative positions the audience to sympathize with Joan's spiritual conviction, highlighting human failings within the institution rather than the faith itself.

Otto Preminger's 'Saint Joan' is a historical drama centered on Joan of Arc's life, trial, and execution. The film does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on religious conviction, political conflict, and gender roles of the period.

The film 'Saint Joan' (1957) focuses on the historical figure Joan of Arc. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the narrative. Joan's cross-dressing is depicted in the context of her military role and religious conviction, not as an expression of transsexual identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1957 film "Saint Joan" adapts the historical account of Joan of Arc and George Bernard Shaw's play. All major characters, including Joan herself and the historical figures surrounding her, maintain their historically established genders in the film's portrayal.

The film 'Saint Joan' (1957) is based on the historical figure Joan of Arc and George Bernard Shaw's play. Joan of Arc was historically a white French woman, and she is portrayed by a white actress, Jean Seberg, in the film. No major character's race deviates from their historical or canonical depiction.
