Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film primarily focuses on an individual's journey of personal growth and responsibility, with inherited wealth serving as a backdrop for character development rather than a subject of systemic critique, resulting in a neutral rating.
The film incorporates a significant gender swap by casting a female in the traditionally male role of Hobson, demonstrating explicit DEI in its casting choices. However, the narrative primarily focuses on the protagonist's personal development and romantic entanglements, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on broader DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Bitterman, Arthur's gay chauffeur, who is in a stable relationship with his partner. His sexuality is presented as a normal, incidental aspect of his character and the film's world, neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict or ridicule. The portrayal is respectful and avoids strong positive or negative arcs.
The 2011 film "Arthur" reimagines the character Hobson, who was established as a male butler in the 1981 original, as a female nanny. This constitutes a clear gender swap for a significant character.
The film 'Arthur' (2011) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of transsexual identity or experiences to evaluate within the narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2011 film "Arthur" is a remake of the 1981 film. A review of the main characters in both versions, including Arthur Bach, Hobson, and Linda/Naomi, shows no instances where a character's race was changed from the original source material.
