Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict critiques unchecked corporate power and media manipulation in a dystopian future, where global corporations exploit individuals for profit and control, aligning its dominant themes with anti-capitalist and anti-corporate sentiments.
The movie features a visibly diverse supporting cast, but its central roles are filled by white actors without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative critiques corporate power and media manipulation, with the main antagonist being a white male, but this critique is directed at systemic issues rather than traditional identities themselves. DEI themes are not central to the film's core message.
Secondary
The character Moonpie, who was a white male in the 1975 original film, is portrayed by a Black actor (LL Cool J) as Marcus Ridley in the 2002 remake. This constitutes a race swap for a significant character.
The film "Rollerball" (2002) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the violent sport of Rollerball, corporate manipulation, and the protagonist's fight for freedom, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The film "Rollerball" (2002) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a violent sport within a dystopian corporate-controlled society, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in its plot or character arcs.
The film focuses on the brutal sport of Rollerball, primarily featuring male athletes. Female characters, such as Aurora, are present but do not engage in or win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
The 2002 film is a remake of the 1975 movie. Key characters from the original, such as Jonathan E. and Bartholomew, maintain their male gender in the remake (as Jonathan Cross and Alexis). New female characters were introduced, but no established character from the source material had their gender changed.
