Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus is a character study of individual psychological flaws and arrested development, offering no clear political solution or ideological stance, thus remaining neutral.
The film features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on individual character flaws rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays the small-town, implicitly Christian community, particularly through Beth's character, as stable, kind, and family-oriented. While the protagonist Mavis scoffs at this lifestyle, the narrative frames her cynicism as misguided and self-destructive, ultimately affirming the positive values of community and genuine connection that she lacks.
The film 'Young Adult' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on the heterosexual experiences of its protagonist and supporting cast, offering no discernible representation or exploration of queer identity.
The film "Young Adult" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on the protagonist's personal struggles and relationships, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Young Adult" features an original screenplay and characters, with no pre-existing source material or historical figures. Therefore, no characters were established as one gender in prior canon or history and then portrayed as a different gender in this film.
The film "Young Adult" is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. All characters were created for this specific film, thus lacking any prior established race to be swapped from.
