Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film critiques government corruption and the abuse of power by state institutions, a theme that resonates across the political spectrum, without explicitly promoting a specific progressive or conservative ideology as a solution. Its focus is on the individual struggle for survival and profit within a corrupt system.
This film features a largely traditional cast, with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative does not critically portray traditional identities, nor does it center on explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on a crime thriller plot.
Secondary
The film portrays homosexual acts as a scandalous secret, using them as a key plot device for blackmail and vulnerability. This depiction reinforces negative societal views of queer identity as something shameful and exploitable, without offering any positive counter-balance or critique of the underlying prejudice.
The Bank Job uses transsexual individuals as subjects in compromising photographs, serving as a plot device to signify scandal and impropriety. Their identity is leveraged to heighten the stakes of a blackmail plot, without offering any counterbalancing positive or neutral portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is based on a real historical event, and while some characters are fictionalized or composites, no historically documented or widely established figure is portrayed with a different gender on screen.
The film is based on a real historical event, and its portrayal of historical figures like Michael X and Gale Benson accurately reflects their documented races. Fictionalized characters do not have a pre-established race that is altered.
