Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film critiques inherited privilege by showcasing a commoner's rise through individual merit and ambition, but its solution is an individual's success sanctioned by benevolent authority rather than a call for systemic change, leading to a neutral rating.

The movie features a traditional cast, predominantly white, without intentional race or gender swaps for established roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of class mobility and individual merit within a medieval setting, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering modern DEI themes.

Secondary

A Knight's Tale does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual romance and male camaraderie within a medieval setting, without exploring or depicting any aspects of queer identity or relationships.

A Knight's Tale does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on a peasant who assumes a noble identity to compete in jousting tournaments in medieval Europe, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The film primarily focuses on male characters participating in jousting and sword fighting. Female characters, such as Jocelyn and Kate, are present in significant supporting roles but do not engage in or win any direct physical combat against male opponents.

The film features historical figures like Geoffrey Chaucer and Edward, the Black Prince, who are portrayed with their historically accurate genders. The main fictional characters are original to the film, thus lacking prior canonical gender to be swapped.

The film features both fictional characters and historical figures. For the historical figures, their on-screen portrayal matches their documented race. Fictional characters do not have a pre-established race from source material. Therefore, no race swaps occur.
