Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by focusing on a universal good vs. evil narrative where the ultimate solution is love, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology, despite containing subtle critiques of corporate greed and militarism alongside themes of individual heroism.
The movie features visible diversity in its casting, with significant roles for minority actors in original characters. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, instead framing them neutrally or positively within a classic good-versus-evil sci-fi adventure.
Secondary
The Fifth Element features Ruby Rhod, a flamboyant and gender-nonconforming celebrity, whose portrayal is largely neutral. While queer-coded and a source of comedic relief, his character is celebrated within the film's world and not subjected to ridicule or negative consequences due to his persona. The film does not explicitly explore or affirm LGBTQ+ themes.
The film features Leeloo, an engineered perfect being, who demonstrates exceptional physical combat skills. She successfully defeats multiple male Mangalore opponents in hand-to-hand and martial arts engagements on the Fhloston Paradise ship.
Father Vito Cornelius, a Christian priest, is a central heroic figure whose faith and knowledge of ancient prophecies are crucial to saving humanity. The film validates his beliefs and portrays him as wise, dedicated, and ultimately correct in his spiritual understanding.
The Fifth Element does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. While some characters exhibit gender-nonconforming traits, the narrative does not explore or depict transsexual identity, resulting in no direct portrayal to evaluate.
The Fifth Element is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been established and subsequently altered.
The Fifth Element is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical account. All characters were created for this film, meaning there was no prior canonical or historical race to be altered.
