Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating as it primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal resilience, faith, and community support, explicitly avoiding partisan political engagement or ideological promotion.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with the real-life story, and portrays the journey of its white male protagonist positively. While it includes supporting diversity and significant disability representation, the narrative focuses on universal themes of resilience and community without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central in a challenging way.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity positively, emphasizing its central role in the protagonist's recovery and life. It highlights themes of grace, redemption, and prayer through the actions and relationships of faithful characters, aligning the narrative with the virtues of the faith.
Soul on Fire (2025) does not explicitly depict LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While it promotes general compassion and acceptance, these overarching themes do not translate into specific LGBTQ+ representation or storylines within the film's narrative, focusing instead on a personal journey of healing and faith.
The film "Soul on Fire" does not depict any transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on the biographical story of John O'Leary's physical and emotional recovery from severe burns. Consequently, the film's portrayal of transsexual characters and themes is rated as N/A due to their complete absence from the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The biographical drama "Soul on Fire" portrays real-life figures, including John O'Leary and his family, with their historically accurate genders. Available information confirms no character's on-screen gender differs from their established historical or source material gender.
The film portrays real-life white American individuals and a character whose race was unspecified in the source material. All established characters are cast with actors of the same race, and the unspecified character's casting does not constitute a race swap.
