Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around preventing global terrorism and corporate-driven catastrophe, a common spy thriller premise that avoids explicit ideological promotion. The narrative focuses on a clear hero-vs-villain dynamic, positioning it as largely apolitical.
The film features a largely traditional cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles within its specific casting decisions. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its plot.
Secondary
The character M, traditionally male in the James Bond source material and earlier film installments, is portrayed as female by Judi Dench in this film, continuing a gender swap established in previous films.
The World Is Not Enough does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on heterosexual relationships and traditional espionage plotlines, resulting in no LGBTQ+ representation within the film's content.
The film "The World Is Not Enough" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on espionage, terrorism, and a nuclear threat, without incorporating elements related to gender identity or transition.
The film features several female characters, including the antagonist Elektra King and the assassin Giulietta da Vinci. While Giulietta da Vinci engages in close-quarters combat with James Bond, she is ultimately defeated by him. No female character is depicted winning a direct physical combat encounter against one or more male opponents.
The film features established James Bond characters whose races remain consistent with prior portrayals. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute race swaps as they lack prior canonical racial depictions.
