Detailed Bias Analysis

Strong Left

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film's central thesis champions rebellion against an oppressive, occupying government, framing it as a modern morality tale about standing up to unjust authority, which aligns with anti-authoritarian and anti-colonial themes prevalent in left-leaning discourse.

Diversity: HighConfidence: Medium

The film exhibits significant DEI, primarily through its intentional casting that introduces racial diversity and Middle Eastern elements into a traditionally European historical setting, an aspect some critics perceived as forced. While the narrative explores themes of class struggle and solidarity against oppression, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

William Tell's wife, a character historically and canonically established as a white European woman from Switzerland, is portrayed by Golshifteh Farahani, an Iranian actress, which constitutes a race swap.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'William Tell' by Nick Hamm does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes based on available information. There is no explicit mention or focus on LGBTQ+ representation, leading to a classification of N/A for its portrayal.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The provided information indicates the presence of strong female characters like Bertha and women among the rebels, suggesting an inclusive approach to the resistance. However, it does not describe any specific scenes where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film introduces notable female characters and expands roles for women within the narrative, but there is no indication that any character canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender has been portrayed as a different gender.
