Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a core tenet of traditional Christian faith that is a foundational element of conservative ideology and the Christian right in the US.
This animated film portrays biblical figures in a traditional manner, consistent with common Western interpretations of such characters. Its narrative focuses on religious themes without engaging in critiques of traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film, an adaptation of biblical events, likely depicts Jesus Christ and other historical figures of Middle Eastern origin as white. Portraying a historically documented Middle Eastern character as a different race constitutes a race swap.
The film is a reverent and affirming adaptation of the biblical account of Jesus' resurrection, presenting core Christian beliefs and the dignity of the faith as central truths within its narrative.
The film portrays the Jewish religious leadership (Sanhedrin, chief priests) as the primary antagonists who orchestrate Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, depicting them as hypocritical and cruel in their opposition to Jesus.
The animated Christian film 'He is Risen' focuses on the biblical narrative of Jesus' resurrection. It does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its story, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This 1988 animated film adapts the New Testament's account of Jesus' resurrection. There is no evidence or historical record to suggest that any canonically or historically established biblical character had their gender changed for this adaptation.
