Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict critiques unchecked scientific ambition and the exploitation of a vulnerable individual by powerful institutions, aligning with left-leaning concerns about ethical boundaries and the misuse of technology.

The film features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with traditional casting practices of its era. Its narrative primarily explores themes of scientific ambition and technological ethics, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.

Secondary

The film portrays Christianity negatively through the antagonist, Jobe, who, upon gaining immense power, actively dismisses and destroys a Christian priest, Father McKeen. This depicts traditional religion as powerless and ultimately superseded by Jobe's dangerous technological 'godhood' without offering any counterbalancing positive portrayal.

The Lawnmower Man, 1992, does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character arcs. The narrative primarily focuses on science fiction elements, virtual reality, and the transformation of its protagonist, Jobe Smith, without engaging with queer identities or experiences.

The Lawnmower Man, 1992 does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its plot or character arcs. Consequently, there is no depiction of transsexual identity to assess, leading to an N/A rating for its portrayal.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film is a loose adaptation of a Stephen King short story. While characters and plot diverge significantly, the central 'Lawnmower Man' character, Jobe Smith, remains male, consistent with the source material's male protagonist. Other major characters are original to the film adaptation, thus not qualifying as gender swaps.

The film significantly expands upon Stephen King's short story, introducing new main characters. The character of Jobe Smith, implicitly white in the source, is portrayed by a white actor. No established characters were portrayed by actors of a different race.
