Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film explores the destructive consequences of human repression and societal hypocrisy through a grotesque reinterpretation of a classic tale, focusing on psychological horror and the duality of human nature rather than promoting a specific political ideology or solution.
The movie maintains traditional casting consistent with its Victorian setting and source material, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative explores the darker aspects of human nature through its central character, but this does not constitute an explicit critique of traditional identities in a DEI context.
Secondary
The film depicts Dr. Jekyll's transformation into Miss Osbourne, a monstrous female alter ego responsible for violent and predatory acts. This portrayal uses gender transformation as a horror device, associating the female identity with villainy and degradation, resulting in a problematic depiction.
The film adapts Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, where Dr. Jekyll's male alter ego, Mr. Hyde, is reimagined as the female character Miss Osbourne, constituting a gender swap.
The film critiques Victorian society's rigid, Christian-influenced morality as hypocritical and repressive. It depicts how the suppression of natural human desires, enforced by this moral framework, leads to monstrous outcomes and exposes the corruption beneath a veneer of piety. The narrative highlights the destructive consequences of this societal and religious hypocrisy.
The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on Dr. Jekyll's transformation into a monstrous alter ego and the resulting heterosexual violence, without engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, portraying Dr. Jekyll and his alter ego (Miss Osbourne in this version) with white actors. While the gender of the alter ego is changed from the source, the racial portrayal of the characters remains consistent with their established baseline.
