Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis is a scathing, surrealist critique of the hypocrisy and moral decay of the bourgeoisie, exposing the fragility of their social order and conventions, which aligns with a clearly left-leaning perspective.
The movie features a traditional cast reflecting the upper-class society it satirizes, without explicit diversity initiatives. Its narrative critiques the hypocrisy and moral decay of this elite class, focusing on their social behaviors rather than explicitly framing traditional identities negatively through a DEI lens.
Secondary
The film portrays the Christian (specifically Catholic) faith of its bourgeois characters as superficial, hypocritical, and ultimately useless in their time of crisis. Their religious rituals and invocations are shown as desperate, performative acts that fail to provide moral guidance or escape, highlighting the emptiness of their faith and the societal institutions it represents.
The Exterminating Angel does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's surrealist narrative primarily explores the breakdown of social conventions and human nature among a trapped elite, with no focus on queer identity or experiences.
The Exterminating Angel does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's surrealist narrative centers on the psychological and social breakdown of guests unable to leave a dinner party, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Exterminating Angel is an original screenplay by Luis Buñuel and Luis Alcoriza. All characters were created specifically for this film and do not have pre-established canonical or historical genders from prior source material. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.
The Exterminating Angel is an original film from 1962, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical biopic. All characters were created for this film, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical race to be altered.
