Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is rated neutral because its central conflict and themes are apolitical, focusing on individual romance, personal connection, and a unique supernatural premise rather than engaging with broader societal or political issues.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with no significant critique or central DEI themes present in the storyline.
Secondary
The film portrays Elizabeth's sister, Abby, as a devout Christian who finds comfort and guidance in her faith during a difficult time. While her initial skepticism about David's claims is rooted in her beliefs, the film treats her faith with respect and sympathy, not as a source of foolishness or bigotry.
Just Like Heaven does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a heterosexual romance and supernatural elements without incorporating queer identities or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film 'Just Like Heaven' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its plot focuses on a supernatural romance between a man and a comatose woman's spirit, rendering the transsexual portrayal category inapplicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of Marc Levy's novel "Et si c'était vrai...". While character names were changed for the movie, the core protagonists and significant supporting characters maintain the same gender as their counterparts in the original source material.
The film "Just Like Heaven" is an adaptation of a French novel. The main characters' races were not explicitly defined in the source material, but their portrayal in the film aligns with the implicit understanding from the novel, with no significant racial changes for established characters.
