Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
Vertigo is a psychological thriller that delves into themes of obsession, identity, and manipulation, primarily focusing on individual psychological pathology rather than offering a political critique or solution. Its core conflicts are apolitical, leading to a neutral rating.
The film features a cast that aligns with traditional Hollywood norms of its time, without intentional diversity in casting. Its narrative explores psychological themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story centers on heterosexual relationships, psychological obsession, and manipulation, without engaging with queer identities or experiences.
Vertigo does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative explores psychological obsession and the imposition of identity, but these elements do not relate to transgender experiences or gender identity in the context of transsexuality.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Vertigo" is an adaptation of the 1954 novel "D'entre les morts." All major and named characters in the film retain the same gender as established in the original source material.
Vertigo (1958) is the original film adaptation of the novel "D'entre les morts." The main characters, implicitly white in the source material, are portrayed by white actors in the film. There are no instances of characters established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
