Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
Assassination is clearly left-leaning due to its explicit promotion of armed resistance and sacrifice for national liberation against Japanese colonial oppression, championing anti-colonial and anti-imperialist themes.
The movie features a cast that accurately reflects its historical Korean and Japanese setting, without engaging in race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on anti-colonial resistance and features a strong female lead, but does not explicitly critique traditional Western identities.
Secondary
The film features Ahn Ok-yun, a skilled resistance fighter, who demonstrates proficiency in close-quarters combat, successfully defeating multiple male opponents using martial arts and melee weapons during intense action sequences.
The film 'Assassination' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on historical events and resistance efforts during the Japanese occupation of Korea, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the plot or character arcs.
The film "Assassination" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on Korean independence fighters during the 1930s Japanese occupation, and no elements related to transgender identity are present in its plot or character arcs.
The film "Assassination" (2015) features an original screenplay and characters. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters from source material or prior installments whose gender was altered for this production.
This film is an original South Korean historical action drama with fictional main characters. It does not adapt pre-existing characters from other media or portray real historical figures whose race would be different from their on-screen depiction. Therefore, no race swaps are present.
