Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central thesis advocates for religious tolerance and interfaith coexistence, strongly critiquing religious extremism and fanaticism as drivers of conflict, which aligns with progressive values.
The film utilizes traditional casting choices, consistent with its animated biblical narrative, without incorporating explicit race or gender swaps for traditionally depicted roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its core religious themes rather than critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film critiques the hypocrisy, fanaticism, and violence committed by many Christian Crusaders, particularly the Knights Templar and certain leaders, but it champions the faith's ideals of justice, mercy, and tolerance through characters like King Baldwin IV and Balian, who embody a more virtuous path. The narrative condemns the abuse of the faith, not the faith itself.
Islam is portrayed with significant respect and nuance, primarily through the character of Saladin, who embodies honor, wisdom, and mercy. The film highlights the dignity and strategic brilliance of Muslim leadership and adherence to their faith's principles, offering a counter-narrative to historical Western biases.
The Kingdom of Heaven does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on historical events and heterosexual relationships, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's scope.
