Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Right
Primary
The film's central thesis is a psychological drama exploring the destructive pursuit of artistic perfection and identity, which are largely apolitical themes, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative explores psychological themes of ambition and obsession within the ballet world, rather than critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film includes an ambiguous kiss between the female leads, occurring within the protagonist's psychological breakdown. This moment is more indicative of her repressed desires and psychosis than a clear portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity, resulting in a neutral net impact on queer themes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Black Swan features original characters created for the film's narrative. It is not an adaptation of a pre-existing work with established characters, nor does it depict historical figures. Therefore, no characters undergo a gender swap.
The film "Black Swan" features original characters created for its narrative, with no prior canonical or historical racial depictions to reference. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
