Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film objectively portrays the complex, often morally ambiguous origins of Facebook, focusing on individual ambition, betrayal, and legal disputes without explicitly endorsing or critiquing a specific political ideology or offering a clear ideological solution.
The film features a predominantly white male cast in its central roles, reflecting the real-life figures it portrays, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative primarily explores themes of ambition and conflict among these characters, without a central focus on diversity, equity, or inclusion themes, nor does it critically frame traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays Divya Narendra, a real historical figure of Indian descent, with a white actor (Max Minghella). This constitutes a race swap as a historically established character of one race is depicted as a different race.
The Social Network does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story centers on the creation of Facebook and the associated legal battles, rendering the film's portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements as N/A due to their absence.
The Social Network does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on the origins of Facebook and the associated legal battles, thus rendering the film's portrayal of transsexual issues as not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a biographical drama based on real historical figures involved in the founding of Facebook. All major characters are portrayed with the same gender as their real-life counterparts, with no instances of a historically established gender being changed for the screen.
