Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter of a global adventure and a wager is inherently apolitical, and its narrative focuses on individual ingenuity and logistical challenges rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie features traditional casting for its central characters, consistent with its production era. While a prominent non-white actor is featured in a significant role, this is not presented as an explicit DEI-driven recasting. The narrative portrays traditional identities positively, without any critique or explicit DEI themes central to the story.
Secondary
The character Aouda, canonically an Indian princess in the source novel, is portrayed by Shirley MacLaine, a white actress, which constitutes a race swap.
The film portrays the practice of Sati (widow burning) as barbaric and cruel, with the narrative celebrating its prevention through the heroic actions of Phileas Fogg and his companions. This depiction highlights a negative aspect associated with the religion without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals.
The film "Around the World in Eighty Days" does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily follows Phileas Fogg's global adventure, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1956) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on adventure, travel, and the eccentricities of its main characters, with no elements related to gender identity or transition. Therefore, the film has no depiction of transsexual individuals or related topics.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in direct physical combat against male opponents. Princess Aouda, the main female character, is rescued and accompanies the protagonists but does not participate in fights. No other female characters are depicted in combat roles.
The 1956 film adaptation of Jules Verne's novel maintains the established genders of its primary characters, including Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, Princess Aouda, and Inspector Fix, as depicted in the original source material.
