Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is a broad comedic parody of the Western genre, focusing on personal adventure and character-driven humor rather than promoting any specific political ideology. Its core conflict and solutions are apolitical, centered on individual quests and loyalty.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features a predominantly white cast, with white actors portraying non-white roles for comedic purposes, reflecting a traditional casting approach. Its narrative does not critique traditional identities but rather frames them neutrally or positively within a parody context, without explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The film parodies Winnetou, a canonically Native American character from German literature, with the character Abahachi, who is portrayed by a white actor. This constitutes a race swap.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film "Manitou's Shoe" is a German comedy Western parody that does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on comedic interpretations of classic Western tropes without incorporating queer identities or storylines, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film is a parody of Karl May's Winnetou stories. While it introduces new characters and comedic takes on existing ones, no character canonically established as one gender in the source material is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
