Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Left

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

While critiquing global surveillance, the film's solution champions individual heroism and traditional intelligence methods over centralized, technologically-driven control, aligning with conservative skepticism of globalist overreach and state power.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

The film features explicit DEI in its casting, notably with a traditionally white role being portrayed by a minority actress. However, the narrative maintains a traditional framing, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

Moneypenny, a character historically depicted as white in the Bond franchise's source material and prior film installments, is portrayed by a Black actress in Spectre.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Spectre does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While some viewers interpret a homoerotic subtext in the villain Blofeld's obsession with James Bond, this remains an implicit reading rather than an explicit portrayal of queer identity or relationships within the narrative. Therefore, the film is rated N/A for LGBTQ+ depiction.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features female characters such as Madeleine Swann and Eve Moneypenny. While Madeleine Swann uses a firearm to neutralize a male opponent, no female character is depicted winning in close-quarters physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapon fights against one or more male opponents.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

All major characters in Spectre, including James Bond, M, Q, Moneypenny, and Blofeld, maintain their established canonical gender from previous installments and source material. No character originally established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender.
