Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its sympathetic portrayal of indigenous culture and its lament for the destructive impact of European colonialism and environmental exploitation, despite its focus on individual spiritual journeys.

The movie features historically appropriate casting that includes indigenous characters central to its narrative, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative subtly explores themes of cultural clash and the impact of colonialism, but does not explicitly frame traditional identities in a negative light.

Secondary

The film portrays Christianity primarily through the English colonists, whose actions of conquest, violence, and disregard for indigenous life often contradict their professed faith. The narrative implicitly critiques the destructive impact of religiously-justified colonialism, highlighting hypocrisy rather than affirming the virtues of the faith in this context.

The New World does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered on historical events and heterosexual romantic relationships, with no elements suggesting queer identity or experiences within its plot or character arcs.

The film 'The New World' does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transgender themes. Its narrative is centered on historical events, cultural clashes, and romantic relationships in early colonial America, rendering the topic N/A for evaluation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The New World is a historical drama depicting real historical figures such as Pocahontas, Captain John Smith, and John Rolfe. All major and minor historical characters are portrayed with their historically documented genders, with no instances of gender swapping.

The film portrays historical figures like Pocahontas, John Smith, and John Rolfe with actors whose racial backgrounds align with the established historical races of these individuals. No character's race was altered from their historical or canonical depiction.
