Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by centering on Marlon Brando's activism for indigenous rights, environmental sustainability, and anti-colonial values, while critiquing Hollywood consumerism.
The film predominantly features white male protagonists, with indigenous Tahitian characters receiving minimal screen time and lacking narrative depth. The story maintains an American perspective, failing to deeply explore the cultural or social impact on the local community, which results in a traditional approach to representation and narrative framing.
Secondary
Waltzing with Brando includes a brief, superficial depiction of a trans character and avoids exploring Marlon Brando's real-life bisexuality. The film's treatment of LGBTQ+ themes is incidental and awkward, failing to meaningfully engage with or deepen understanding of queer identities. Its primary focus remains elsewhere, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
Based on the provided information, there is no documentation or evidence suggesting that Waltzing with Brando (2025) features transsexual characters or portrays the transsexual community. Therefore, an evaluation of its depiction is not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Waltzing with Brando is a biographical drama about real historical figures. The provided information confirms that all principal characters are portrayed by actors whose gender aligns with the historical figures they represent, indicating no instances of gender swapping.
The film's casting aligns with the established or historical races of its characters, including Marlon Brando and Bernard Judge. For Madame Leroy, the character's race is not specified in the source material, thus precluding a race swap.
