Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film leans left by predominantly critiquing the patriarchal structures and abuse of power within a historical monarchy, highlighting the limited agency and exploitation of women as central to its narrative.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

This historical drama features traditional casting that aligns with its period setting, primarily showcasing white actors without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative explores historical power dynamics and the roles of men and women within that context, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or incorporate modern DEI themes into its framing.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'The Other Boleyn Girl' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is solely focused on the heterosexual relationships and political machinations of the Tudor court, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film is a historical drama based on real historical figures. All major characters, such as King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and Mary Boleyn, are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their documented historical counterparts. No instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another were found.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film depicts historical figures from 16th-century England, all of whom were white. The cast portraying these characters are also white, aligning with their historical and canonical race. Therefore, no race swaps are present.
