Detailed Bias Analysis

Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a return to traditional, hierarchical social structures and racial purity as the solution to perceived societal decay, aligning its core message with conservative and reactionary ideologies.
The movie features traditional casting with no explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, without critical portrayal or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film implicitly upholds Christian moral values by contrasting a humble, loving home (representing virtue) with the corrupting influence of material wealth and greed, which it identifies as 'the root of evil.' The narrative aligns with and affirms these virtues.
Directed by D.W. Griffith, a filmmaker of the early 20th century, 'The Root of Evil' does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative does not engage with queer identity, aligning with the historical context of its production and the general absence of such portrayals in cinema of that period.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This 1912 silent film is an original production by D.W. Griffith. Its characters were created for the film and do not have pre-established genders from prior source material, historical records, or earlier adaptations. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
The film "The Root of Evil" (1912) is an original silent drama without pre-existing source material or historical figures. There are no characters whose race was established prior to this film, thus no race swap occurred.
