Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on an apolitical adventure where a secret agent thwarts a villain's plan to destabilize the global economy. Its themes of national security and maintaining the status quo are presented as universally desirable outcomes rather than explicit ideological positions, making it neutral.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast and no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative frames traditional identities, particularly the white male protagonist, in a consistently positive light without any critical portrayal or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Pussy Galore, a strong character implied to be lesbian, whose narrative arc concludes with her 'conversion' to heterosexuality by Bond. This portrayal is problematic as it negates rather than affirms queer identity, presenting it as something to be overcome.
Goldfinger (1964) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The film's plot centers on James Bond's mission to investigate Auric Goldfinger and does not engage with transgender identities, resulting in a net impact rating of N/A.
The film features several prominent female characters, but none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Their roles do not include such direct physical confrontations.
All major characters in Goldfinger, including James Bond, Auric Goldfinger, and Pussy Galore, maintain their canonically established genders from the source material and previous installments. No character established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in this film.
The film "Goldfinger" features characters whose on-screen portrayals align with their established racial identities from the source novel or previous installments. No characters established as one race were depicted as a different race.
