Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film's central narrative champions armed resistance and self-reliance in defense of national sovereignty against an external invader, aligning with conservative values of patriotism and individual responsibility when the state is absent.

The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast of Australian teenagers, including characters from various ethnic backgrounds, who are central to the narrative. The story primarily focuses on their struggle for survival and resistance against an invading force, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.

Secondary

The film "Tomorrow, When the War Began" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a group of teenagers fighting an invading army, with character relationships and plot points not involving queer identity.

The film 'Tomorrow, When the War Began' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on a group of teenagers' survival and resistance against an invading military force, with no elements pertaining to transgender identity.

The film features female characters who participate in combat as part of a resistance group. Their contributions to victories are primarily through strategic planning, ambushes, and the use of firearms and explosives. There are no scenes depicting a female character defeating one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.

The film "Tomorrow, When the War Began" is an adaptation of John Marsden's novel series. All main characters in the movie retain the same gender as established in the original source material.

The film adapts a novel series where character races were generally consistent with their on-screen portrayals. While some characters have specific ethnic backgrounds (e.g., Greek, Thai), the actors cast align with these or maintain the broader racial category, thus not constituting a race swap.
