Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film explores the decline of a minor league hockey team and its working-class town, depicting the desperate, often violent, measures taken for survival without explicitly endorsing a specific political ideology or offering a clear ideological solution.
The film features a cast that is predominantly white, consistent with its 1970s minor league hockey setting, and does not incorporate diverse casting choices or character representations. The narrative reinforces traditional white, male identities without offering any critical perspective or engaging with themes of diversity, equity, or inclusion.
Secondary
Slap Shot features the casual use of homophobic slurs and derogatory language by characters, reflecting the locker-room culture of its era. This language is presented without narrative critique, contributing to a problematic portrayal of attitudes towards queer identity, despite the absence of explicit LGBTQ+ characters.
Slap Shot does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative is exclusively centered on a minor league hockey team, their on-ice antics, and off-ice struggles, with no elements related to transsexual identity present in the film's plot or character development.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
