Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

The film's left-leaning rating stems from its central critique of rigid class structures and the pervasive hypocrisy within the aristocratic and clerical establishments of Restoration-era France, highlighting the struggle of individual merit against systemic barriers.

This adaptation of 'The Red and the Black' features traditional casting that aligns with its 19th-century French historical setting, without incorporating explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative remains faithful to the source material's focus on themes of class ambition and social hypocrisy, rather than engaging with modern DEI critiques of traditional identities.

Secondary

The film critically portrays the Catholic Church and its clergy as largely hypocritical, ambitious, and entangled in political power struggles, often using religion as a facade for personal gain and social control. While some individual characters exhibit genuine piety, the overall narrative exposes the institution's moral failings and corruption.

This adaptation of 'The Red and the Black' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers exclusively on heterosexual relationships and societal ambition, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.

The film "The Red and the Black" (1997), an adaptation of Stendhal's novel, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1997 adaptation of Stendhal's novel "The Red and the Black" maintains the established genders of all its major and minor characters from the original source material. No canonical characters were portrayed with a different gender.

The 1997 adaptation of Stendhal's 1830 French novel features characters who are historically and canonically white, consistent with the novel's setting and original descriptions. The cast of the 1997 film portrays these characters as white, aligning with the source material.
