Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film receives a Left-Leaning rating due to its dominant themes, which include a strong critique of rigid social hierarchies, patriarchal structures, and economic inequality, aligning with progressive values and discourse on social justice.

The movie features traditional casting consistent with its late 19th-century Polish village setting, without intentional race or gender swaps. However, its narrative strongly critiques patriarchal structures, male dominance, and the policing of female sexuality, making gender inequality a central and explicit theme.

Secondary

The film uses Christian imagery and themes, particularly from Orthodox and Catholic traditions, to deepen the narrative and evoke sympathy for the protagonist, Jagna. Her suffering and social rejection are visually paralleled with the Passion of Christ, positioning the audience to sympathize with her dignity amidst community judgment.

The Peasants (2023) does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ representation. Its narrative centers on gender roles and patriarchal society in a rural Polish village, with no characters, relationships, or thematic explorations related to the LGBTQ+ community. The film's social critique is confined to heterosexual dynamics.

The Peasants (2023) does not feature any transsexual characters or explore themes related to the transsexual community. The narrative is entirely centered on the patriarchal social dynamics and struggles of a young woman in a traditional 19th-century Polish rural setting, with no reference to transgender identities or experiences.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film faithfully adapts Władysław Reymont's novel, with all characters, including major figures like Jagna, Antek, and Maciej Boryna, maintaining their original canonical genders as established in the source material. No gender swaps are present.

The film's major characters are portrayed by ethnically Polish actors whose physical appearances align with the characters' established Polish peasant identities from the novel and historical setting. The on-screen population also reflects the historical ethnic makeup of a late 19th-century Polish village, with no evidence of racial incongruence.
