Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by using satire to critique French colonialism, racism, and sexism through its protagonist's anachronistic and problematic worldview.

The film features a traditionally cast white male protagonist. The narrative, however, explicitly critiques traditional identities, particularly white male colonialist attitudes, by portraying the protagonist's outdated views in a negative and anachronistic light for comedic effect.

Secondary

The film satirizes the protagonist's ignorant and prejudiced views towards Islam and its adherents. The narrative consistently positions the audience to condemn his bigotry, thereby affirming the dignity of the religion and its followers.

The film OSS 117: From Africa with Love does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its comedic and satirical elements are primarily directed towards post-colonial politics, race, and gender dynamics, rather than specific queer identities or issues.

This film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the comedic spy adventures of OSS 117, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in the storyline.

The film features Zéphyrine Bamba, a capable female agent who participates in action sequences. However, her contributions to combat are primarily through strategic actions, intelligence gathering, or the use of firearms. There are no clear instances where she defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.

The film is the third installment in a comedic spy series featuring the character OSS 117, who originated in novels. The main character, Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath (OSS 117), remains consistently male, portrayed by Jean Dujardin, as in previous iterations. No other established characters from prior canon or real-world history have their gender changed in this film.

The film features the established character OSS 117, consistently portrayed by a white actor. New characters are introduced, but no existing character with a previously established race is depicted by an actor of a different race.
