Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Left

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film explicitly critiques isolationist, "America-first" ideologies through a negatively portrayed Trumpian character, while championing international cooperation and global unity, aligning with progressive values.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: Medium

The movie demonstrates light DEI, primarily through its intentional and visible diverse casting, featuring Black, South Asian, and white leads in central roles. However, the narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes beyond character representation.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

Heads of State features a neutral portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through the backstory of MI6 agent Noel Bisset and UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke, who were previously in a relationship. This element adds a subtle, non-central layer to their character dynamics and the political narrative, neither uplifting nor denigrating queer identity.

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Noel Bisset, an MI6 agent, who is highly skilled in combat. She handles most of the film's fight sequences, demonstrating physical prowess and strategic intelligence by defeating male opponents in direct physical confrontations.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film introduces new, original female characters in significant roles, such as an MI6 agent, an assassin, and a Vice President. There is no indication that any character was previously established as a different gender in source material, history, or prior adaptations.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film features original characters for which no prior racial establishment exists in source material or history. Therefore, the casting of diverse actors in these roles does not constitute a race swap.
