Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by balancing themes of individual honor, duty, and the restoration of legacy with a nuanced portrayal of cultural conflict, the moral ambiguities of empire, and the development of empathy across societal divides. It focuses on universal human connections rather than explicit political ideology.
The film features predominantly traditional casting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on a traditional hero's journey, framing the white male protagonist positively, and does not center on explicit critiques of traditional identities or strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The character Guern, a leader of the indigenous 'Seal People' (representing ancient Caledonians/Picts) in Roman Britain, is portrayed by an actor of North African/Arab descent, differing from the historically and contextually implied race of the character.
The film 'The Eagle' does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a historical adventure and the bond between its two main male characters, without explicitly engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The film "The Eagle" is a historical adventure set in Roman Britain, focusing on a Roman centurion and his slave. The narrative does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, therefore, it falls under the 'N/A' category for depiction.
The film focuses on male protagonists and their journey in Roman Britain. There are no significant female characters depicted engaging in direct physical combat against any opponents, male or otherwise.
The film "The Eagle" adapts Rosemary Sutcliff's novel "The Eagle of the Ninth." All major characters, including protagonists Marcus Aquila and Esca, maintain the same gender as established in the source material. No historical figures are depicted with a different gender.
