Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film explores the dangers of isolated, dogmatic belief systems and the clash between modern reason and ancient, brutal traditions. It critiques ideological extremism without explicitly promoting a specific political viewpoint, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative does not critique traditional identities, instead focusing on a conflict between a white male protagonist and a pagan island community.
Secondary
The 2006 remake features Sister Summersisle as the leader of the island community, a role that was portrayed by the male character Lord Summerisle in the 1973 original film and its source material. This constitutes a gender swap for a significant character.
The film portrays the protagonist, Edward Malus, as a devout Christian whose moral code and faith are contrasted with the pagan cult. The narrative positions the audience to sympathize with him as he is victimized for his beliefs, affirming the dignity of his faith against the islanders' cruelty.
The Wicker Man (2006) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on a detective's investigation into a missing girl on a remote island cult, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film "The Wicker Man" (2006) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a police officer investigating a missing girl within a remote neo-pagan community, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2006 film is a remake of the 1973 movie, which itself was based on a novel. A review of the main characters and their portrayals in the 2006 adaptation reveals no instances where a character's established race from the source material was changed.
