Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central thesis promotes universal love and understanding as the solution to intolerance, critiquing various forms of oppression and moralistic extremism without aligning with a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting practices prevalent in the early 20th century, with a predominantly white cast and no evidence of modern DEI-driven casting. Its narrative, while critiquing intolerance and social injustice, does not specifically target or negatively portray traditional identities based on race or gender.
Secondary
The film portrays historical figures like Jesus and Belshazzar, who were historically Middle Eastern, with white actors. This constitutes a race swap for documented historical figures.
The film condemns intolerance and hypocrisy practiced by certain Christian factions (e.g., moral reformers, Catholic persecutors) while simultaneously presenting Jesus as an embodiment of love and compassion, thereby affirming the core virtues of the faith.
In the Christ story, certain Jewish authorities are depicted as intolerant persecutors of Jesus. This portrayal, without significant counterbalancing nuance, reinforces a problematic historical narrative, even within the film's broader theme of intolerance.
D.W. Griffith's 'Intolerance' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative explores broad concepts of social injustice and love across different historical eras, without touching upon sexual orientation or gender identity.
D.W. Griffith's 1916 epic 'Intolerance' examines various forms of societal prejudice and injustice across different historical eras. However, the film does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore themes related to transsexual identity. Its narrative focus lies elsewhere, primarily on class struggle, religious persecution, and moral hypocrisy.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film interweaves four stories, including historical and biblical narratives. All major characters, whether historical figures or those from established lore, maintain their canonical or documented gender in their on-screen portrayal. Original characters do not have a prior gender to swap.
