Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film is left-leaning because its central thesis critiques systemic racial discrimination in finance and housing, championing the fight for economic equality and opportunity for Black Americans through ingenuity and challenging the status quo.

The movie features a diverse cast portraying historical Black entrepreneurs who navigate and challenge racial barriers in the 1950s and 60s. Its narrative explicitly critiques the systemic racial discrimination embedded within traditional financial and real estate institutions of that era.

Secondary

The film implicitly portrays the Black community's moral strength and resilience, where the church historically served as a central institution for social justice and community support. The protagonists' integrity and fight against systemic racism align with positive ethical values often associated with faith, without critiquing Christianity itself.

The film "The Banker" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses primarily on racial discrimination and entrepreneurship in the 1950s, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.

The film 'The Banker' does not include any transsexual characters or themes. Its storyline is centered on African American entrepreneurs navigating racial barriers in the banking and real estate industries during the 1950s and 1960s.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The Banker is a biographical film based on real historical figures. All major characters are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their documented historical counterparts, aligning with the source material.

The Banker is a biographical film based on the true story of Bernard Garrett and Joe Morris, two African American entrepreneurs. The main characters are portrayed by actors of the same race as the historical figures they represent, with no instances of race swapping.
