Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions resistance against tyrannical and 'fascistic' oppression, advocating for liberty and self-determination through political violence, which aligns with progressive anti-authoritarian values and modern sensibilities regarding gender and diversity.
The film incorporates ethnic diversity through the casting of an Iranian actress in a key role and broadens gender representation by giving significant roles to female characters beyond traditional versions. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
William Tell's wife, a character historically and canonically established as a white European woman from Switzerland, is portrayed by Golshifteh Farahani, an Iranian actress, which constitutes a race swap.
Based on available information, the film "William Tell" does not appear to feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. There is no mention of such content in summaries, reviews, or interviews, indicating it is not a focus of this adaptation.
The film 'William Tell' (2025) is described as a historical drama focusing on political intrigue and romance. Based on available plot summaries and descriptions, there are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the narrative, nor is the trans community portrayed or addressed.
The provided information states that Bertha assassinates King Albert. However, the description does not specify the method of assassination, making it unclear if it involved direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand, martial arts, or melee weapon fights, against a male opponent.
The film introduces notable female characters and expands roles for women within the narrative, but there is no indication that any character canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender has been portrayed as a different gender.
