Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film functions as a character-driven cautionary tale about the criminal underworld, focusing on the internal dynamics and inevitable consequences of a life of crime rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The film features a predominantly white and male cast, consistent with its historical setting and subject matter, without any explicit race or gender recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on the criminal activities of its characters, without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays its predominantly Italian-American characters as nominally Catholic, yet their lives are marked by extreme violence, betrayal, and profound moral hypocrisy, with no genuine adherence to Christian tenets. The narrative offers no counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith or its influence, highlighting the characters' disregard for religious principles.
GoodFellas does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on the heterosexual relationships and experiences within the mob lifestyle, resulting in no portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals or issues.
GoodFellas does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the lives of mob associates within the Italian-American mafia, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
