Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by focusing on the exploitation of a vulnerable Mexican-American woman caught between corrupt institutions and violent cartels, thereby highlighting systemic power imbalances and the human cost of border conflict.

The movie features a predominantly Latino cast with a Latina actress in the lead role, maintaining the cultural context of its source material. Its narrative explores themes of survival and exploitation within a criminal underworld, focusing on the protagonist's struggle without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.

Secondary

Miss Bala does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline. The film centers on the protagonist's harrowing experience caught between a drug cartel and law enforcement, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.

The film 'Miss Bala' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on the protagonist's entanglement with a criminal organization, thus rendering the portrayal of transsexual identity as N/A.

The film's central female character, Gloria Fuentes, is primarily a victim and a pawn caught between a drug cartel and law enforcement. While she eventually takes action against her captors, her victories are achieved through the use of firearms, not through direct physical combat or martial arts against male opponents.

The 2019 film "Miss Bala" is a remake of the 2011 Mexican film. Key characters, including the protagonist and main antagonists, maintain the same gender as their counterparts in the original source material. No established character's gender was altered.

The 2019 film is a remake of the 2011 Mexican film. The protagonist in both versions is a Latina woman, with the 2019 character portrayed by a Latina actress. This maintains the character's broader racial category, thus not constituting a race swap.
