Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative champions traditional religious faith and divine intervention against secular skepticism and persecution, aligning with conservative values of faith and tradition. While not explicitly political, its thematic emphasis on the triumph of traditional belief over modern doubt leans right.

The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its casting choices, notably featuring actors of non-European heritage in prominent historical roles that would traditionally be portrayed by white Portuguese individuals. However, the narrative itself maintains a traditional framing, focusing on its historical and religious subject matter without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering modern DEI themes.

Secondary

The film portrays historical Portuguese figures, Manuel Marto and Artur de Oliveira Santos, who were historically white, with actors Tarek Merlin (Middle Eastern descent) and Michael D'Cruze (South Asian descent), respectively. This constitutes a race swap for these characters.

The film is a docudrama centered on the Fatima apparitions, portraying the Catholic faith, its miracles, and the devotion of its adherents with profound respect and affirmation. It frames skepticism as misguided, ultimately validating the children's religious experiences and the divine intervention.

The 13th Day is a historical drama centered on the religious events of the Fátima apparitions. Based on available plot details and themes, there are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in the narrative, making an assessment of their portrayal inapplicable.

Currently, there is not enough information available to assess the film's portrayal of transsexual characters or themes, nor to confirm their presence within the narrative. No details were provided that would allow for an evaluation of any character arcs or story plots related to transsexual identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film depicts historical figures related to the Fatima apparitions. The main characters, including the three shepherd children and the Virgin Mary, are portrayed by actors whose gender aligns with their historical or canonical representation, indicating no gender swaps.
