Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions female empowerment and challenges patriarchal norms by depicting women successfully taking over and excelling in a traditionally male-dominated, violent criminal enterprise, aligning with progressive values of agency and breaking gender barriers.
The film features an explicit race-swap of a traditionally white character with a Black actress. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, portraying male characters negatively as the female protagonists rise to power in a male-dominated criminal world.
Secondary
The film "The Kitchen" is an adaptation of a comic book series. The character Ruby O'Carroll, depicted as white in the original comic, is portrayed by a Black actress in the movie adaptation, which constitutes a race swap.
The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers exclusively on the experiences of three women navigating the criminal underworld in 1970s New York, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The film 'The Kitchen' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on crime, gender roles, and power dynamics within a specific cultural and historical context, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film depicts three women taking over a crime syndicate, establishing their power through strategic decisions, intimidation, and the use of firearms. There are no scenes where a female character is shown to be victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The film "The Kitchen" (2019) is an adaptation of a comic book series. The main protagonists and significant supporting characters retain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
