Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film focuses on a highly individualistic solution through vigilante justice to combat corruption and exploitation, rather than advocating for systemic or collective political change. This prevents it from explicitly promoting a specific political ideology, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie features a strong female protagonist and includes visible diversity in its supporting cast. However, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white central roles with minority actors, nor does its narrative explicitly critique traditional identities as a central theme.
Secondary
The film portrays Lisbeth Salander as a queer protagonist, with her sexuality depicted incidentally through a brief scene. This aspect of her identity is neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict or affirmation, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
The film features Lisbeth Salander, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents. She demonstrates superior combat skills, disarming and incapacitating them through martial arts and hand-to-hand techniques.
The film 'The Girl in the Spider's Web' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The plot centers on espionage, hacking, and Lisbeth Salander's personal history, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The film adapts characters from the Millennium series, including Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, without altering their established genders from the source material or previous adaptations. All significant characters retain their canonical gender.
All major and legacy characters in "The Girl in the Spider's Web" maintain the same race as established in the source novels and previous adaptations. No character canonically established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
