Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes, including the exploration of matriarchal power, the subversion of patriarchal structures, and its engagement with historical trauma and revolutionary change, align with progressive values, making it left-leaning.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit gender-swapped casting of a prominent male role. Its narrative further reinforces this by portraying a powerful female-dominated world where traditional male authority figures are depicted as weak or easily manipulated.
Secondary
The film portrays Dr. Josef Klemperer, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, with profound sympathy and respect. His trauma, memory, and humanity are central to the narrative, aligning the film with the dignity of his experience.
Suspiria (2018) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicit queer themes. The story focuses on a coven of witches and their internal dynamics, with no direct portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities or relationships.
The film 'Suspiria, 2018' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a supernatural horror story within a dance academy, and there are no plot points or character arcs that depict transsexual identity or experiences. Therefore, the overall portrayal is assessed as N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2018 film is a reimagining of the 1977 original. While Tilda Swinton portrays the male character Dr. Josef Klemperer, this character is largely new to the 2018 adaptation and is consistently portrayed as male within the film's narrative. No established character from the source material had their gender changed.
The 2018 film is a remake of the 1977 original. All major characters, including Susie Bannion, Madame Blanc, and Dr. Klemperer (Dr. Mandel in the original), maintain their established race as white, consistent with the source material. There are no instances of a character's race being changed.
