Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: Medium

The film's central thesis strongly condemns religious fundamentalism and the persecution of the innocent, portraying them as the root cause of immense suffering and a cycle of violent retribution, which aligns with left-leaning critiques of oppressive dogmatic systems.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

Silent Hill features a predominantly white cast without explicit race or gender swaps for traditional roles. The narrative focuses on horror and a mother's journey, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities, nor does it center on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

Gender Swap: YesConfidence: High

The film adapts the video game where the protagonist, Harry Mason, was male. The movie features a female protagonist, Rose Da Silva, who fulfills the same core narrative role of searching for her daughter, constituting a gender swap.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'Silent Hill' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a mother's search for her daughter in a supernatural town, exploring themes of religious fanaticism and trauma without engaging with queer identity.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts characters from the Silent Hill video game series. Key characters like Cybil Bennett, Dahlia Gillespie, and Alessa Gillespie are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established depictions in the source material. No instances of a character canonically established as one race being portrayed as a different race were found.
