Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative champions scientific inquiry and empirical evidence as the solution to human suffering, explicitly critiquing religious dogma and tradition as obstacles to progress, aligning with progressive values.

The movie features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting its 11th-century historical setting across England and Persia, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles with minority actors. The narrative positively frames the journey of its white male protagonist, focusing on his pursuit of knowledge and cross-cultural learning, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to the story.

Secondary

The film celebrates the Islamic Golden Age as a period of advanced scientific and medical knowledge, portraying Muslim scholars as pioneers and their culture as intellectually vibrant.

Jewish communities are depicted as learned, tolerant, and contributing significantly to medicine and science, providing a safe haven for intellectual pursuit.

Its narrative centers on a historical drama about a young Englishman's journey to study medicine in 11th-century Persia, focusing on cultural and religious themes without addressing queer identities or experiences.
