Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's core conflict, the retrieval of stolen elephants, is resolved through an individualistic solution that champions personal responsibility, traditional values, and a distrust of ineffective institutions, aligning with right-leaning themes.
The movie features a diverse international cast that aligns with its setting and plot, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a traditional action quest and does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Madame Rose, a transsexual main antagonist, whose gender identity is sensationalized and tied to her villainous persona. This portrayal contributes to harmful stereotypes, lacking dignity, complexity, or affirmation for transsexual characters.
The film portrays its protagonist, Kham, as a devout Buddhist whose moral code, spiritual strength, and unwavering determination are deeply rooted in his faith and cultural traditions. His righteous quest to rescue his sacred elephants aligns the narrative with the virtues and dignity of his Buddhist beliefs.
The Protector is an action film centered on a martial artist's quest for his stolen elephants. The narrative does not feature any explicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, nor does it engage with issues of sexual orientation or gender identity.
