Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional

Primary

The film's title suggests a classic adventure and survival narrative involving an encounter with an indigenous group. Without specific plot details or thematic framing, there is no discernible promotion of progressive or conservative ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.

The movie likely features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is expected to frame traditional identities neutrally or positively, without a central critique of these identities or strong DEI themes.

Secondary

The film, typical of its era, implicitly valorizes the moral framework of its Western protagonists, which is rooted in Christian values. It positions these values as superior to the 'savage' practices of the indigenous people.

The 1920 silent film "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a sailor's survival after being shipwrecked, without exploring aspects of queer identity or relationships.

Shipwrecked Among Cannibals is a 1921 documentary depicting an expedition to New Guinea, showcasing local cultures and wildlife. The film contains no identifiable transsexual characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal of such identities.

This film is a 1921 documentary and travelogue detailing William F. Adler's expedition and experiences in the South Seas. It does not feature fictional characters or staged combat scenes where female characters engage in and win physical fights against male opponents.

Shipwrecked Among Cannibals is a 1920 documentary/travelogue film depicting real-life experiences and encounters. It does not feature fictional characters or adaptations of established historical figures whose gender could be altered from a prior canon or historical record.

This 1920 documentary/travelogue depicts real people, including expedition members and indigenous populations, as they were. It is not an adaptation of a fictional work with pre-established character races, nor does it portray historical figures with altered races.
