Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a dark comedy primarily focused on human greed and the futility of obsession, set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary Soviet Russia. While it satirizes the inefficiencies and poverty of the new system, its central thesis remains apolitical, critiquing universal human flaws rather than explicitly promoting or condemning a specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with its 1920s Soviet Russia setting, and does not include intentional race or gender swaps for traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on a comedic adventure without critically portraying traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity negatively through the character of Father Fyodor, a greedy and hypocritical priest. His actions are driven by avarice, not faith, satirizing corruption within religious figures during a time of societal upheaval without offering a counterbalancing positive depiction.
The Twelve Chairs, a satirical comedy by Mel Brooks, centers on a treasure hunt in post-revolutionary Russia. The film's plot, character development, and comedic elements do not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within its narrative.
Mel Brooks's 'The Twelve Chairs' is a satirical adventure film set in 1927 Russia, following a quest for hidden jewels. The narrative does not include any transsexual characters or explore themes related to gender identity, focusing instead on greed, class struggle, and comedic mishaps.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Twelve Chairs" is an adaptation of the 1928 novel by Ilf and Petrov. All major characters, including Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, Ostap Bender, and Father Fyodor, maintain their established genders from the original source material in the 1970 film.
The 1970 film adaptation of the Russian novel "The Twelve Chairs" features characters whose on-screen portrayals align with their established race in the source material. No significant character's race was altered.
