Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film critiques institutional corruption and abuse of power within the prison system, but its solution emphasizes individual redemption, teamwork, and achieving dignity through a fair contest within the existing system, rather than advocating for systemic change.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, particularly among the prisoner characters, which aligns with a natural representation for its setting. The narrative focuses on an underdog story against corrupt authority figures, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The character Caretaker, who was portrayed as white in the 1974 original film, is played by a Black actor (Chris Rock) in the 2005 remake, constituting a race swap.
The film portrays the character Deacon, a devout Christian, with respect. His faith is depicted as a source of moral strength and guidance within the challenging prison environment, without being satirized or condemned by the narrative.
The Longest Yard does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a football game between prison inmates and guards, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the plot or character arcs.
The Longest Yard (2005) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative focuses on a football game between prison inmates and guards, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2005 remake of "The Longest Yard" retains the original gender for all major and legacy characters from the 1974 film. No character established as one gender in the source material is portrayed as a different gender in the remake.
