Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film consistently critiques individualistic escapism and masculine entitlement, contrasting them with the necessity of collective action and communal responsibility, while exploring socioeconomic pressures, leading to a left-leaning evaluation.
The movie features a predominantly white principal cast, reflecting a traditional approach to on-screen representation. However, its narrative explicitly critiques the male protagonist's selfishness and privilege, foregrounding themes of gendered labor and the reliance on women, which introduces a critical examination of traditional identities and related societal dynamics.
Secondary
Based on available information from major film sources, reviews, and promotional materials, 'The Mastermind' does not appear to feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's focus is on an amateur art thief, his family, and community in 1970, with no mention of queer representation.
The Mastermind (2025) does not feature any transsexual characters or themes. Plot summaries, character descriptions, and critical reviews consistently indicate an absence of such elements, focusing instead on a 1970s heist story and its associated themes, such as personal rebellion and crime's consequences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The provided extra information explicitly states that no characters in "The Mastermind (2025)" were identified as having an on-screen gender different from their established canonical or historical gender.
The film features original characters created for its screenplay, set in 1970 Massachusetts. The provided definition explicitly excludes new, original characters from being considered a "race swap." All actors' races align with the characters' depiction as white New Englanders.
