Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a critique of oppressive class structures, patriarchal societal norms, and the economic vulnerability of women within a materialistic high society, aligning with progressive ideology.

The film features traditional casting consistent with its early 20th-century period setting, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative critiques the social and economic constraints of the era but does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively through a modern DEI lens.

Secondary

The film portrays the Christian-influenced high society as rigid, hypocritical, and unforgiving. Adherents use moralistic judgments, often framed in Christian terms, to ostracize and destroy Lily Bart, revealing a lack of genuine compassion or adherence to core Christian virtues. The narrative critiques this societal application of faith rather than affirming it.

The film, an adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses entirely on the social and romantic struggles of its heterosexual protagonist within early 20th-century high society.

The film 'The House of Mirth' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is exclusively focused on the social dynamics and personal tragedies of cisgender individuals within early 20th-century high society, rendering the concept of transsexual portrayal inapplicable to its content.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film is a faithful adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, with all major and minor characters retaining their original genders as established in the source material. No characters canonically male or female in the novel are portrayed as a different gender in the movie.

The film adapts Edith Wharton's novel, set in early 20th-century New York high society. All major characters, originally depicted as white in the source material, are portrayed by white actors in the film, with no instances of race swapping.
