Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing a future society controlled by dehumanizing corporations that suppress individuality and critical thought through violent spectacle.
The film features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily critiques systemic power and control rather than focusing on or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Rollerball (1975) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a dystopian future where corporations control society through violent sports, and the protagonist's struggle against this system. Consequently, the film has no discernible impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities.
The film "Rollerball" (1975) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on dystopian societal control, corporate power, and the dehumanizing nature of extreme sports, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film's narrative centers on the brutal, male-dominated sport of Rollerball. Female characters are featured in supporting roles, often as companions, but they do not participate in any direct physical combat or defeat male opponents in such encounters.
The 1975 film "Rollerball" is the first adaptation of William Harrison's short story "Roller Ball Murder." All major characters from the source material maintain their original gender in this film adaptation, with no instances of a character's gender being changed.
The 1975 film "Rollerball" adapts a short story where the racial identities of its characters were not explicitly defined or widely established in a way that would contradict the casting choices made for the film. No character canonically established as one race was portrayed as a different race.
