Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film primarily explores complex psychological and interpersonal themes of desire, fidelity, and the subconscious within a marriage, rather than explicitly promoting or critiquing a specific political ideology. Its core conflict and resolution are personal and relational, not systemic or overtly political, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The film features predominantly traditional casting without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative primarily explores the psychological and marital dynamics of its affluent, white, heterosexual protagonists, offering a critique of human nature and societal power structures rather than explicitly focusing on DEI themes or negatively portraying traditional identities from a DEI perspective.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Eyes Wide Shut does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative is entirely centered on heterosexual dynamics and marital fidelity, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Eyes Wide Shut" is an adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's novella *Traumnovelle*. All major and significant supporting characters in the film maintain the same gender as their counterparts in the original source material. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film is an adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's novella "Traumnovelle." The main characters, Dr. Bill Harford and Alice Harford, are portrayed by white actors, consistent with the implied race of their counterparts in the original source material set in early 20th-century Vienna. No characters established as one race in the source are depicted as a different race in the film.
