Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film focuses on apolitical themes of human connection, individual growth, and finding joy, offering personal solutions to the characters' challenges rather than advocating for systemic change or promoting a specific political ideology.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity through its lead casting of a Black actor in a significant role, which is based on a real-life minority individual. The narrative explores themes of class and cultural differences through the friendship of its protagonists but refrains from explicitly critiquing traditional identities or framing them negatively.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The character Driss, based on the real-life Abdel Sellou, was historically of Algerian/Arab descent. In the film, Driss is portrayed by Omar Sy, who is Black, constituting a race swap for a major character.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The Intouchables focuses on the platonic friendship between a wealthy quadriplegic and his caregiver. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no direct portrayal of queer identity within the film's scope.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film is based on the true story of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and Abdel Sellou. Both main characters, and other significant figures, are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their real-life or established counterparts. No characters were canonically or historically established as one gender and then portrayed as a different gender in the film.
