Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating due to the absence of specific plot details, which prevents identifying any explicit promotion of progressive or conservative ideology. The subject matter, a biblical narrative, is broadly spiritual and can be interpreted in various ways without an inherent strong political valence.
The movie is assessed as having a traditional approach to casting, likely featuring a predominantly white cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative is also expected to maintain a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its religious themes without engaging in critiques of traditional roles or identities.
Secondary
Mary Magdalene, a historical figure of Middle Eastern (Jewish) descent, is portrayed by Elena Kondulainen, a European (Russian) actress. This constitutes a change in racial portrayal from her documented historical background.
The film, centered on a pivotal figure in early Christianity, likely explores themes of faith, devotion, and spiritual transformation, affirming the core tenets and virtues associated with the nascent Christian movement through Mary Magdalene's journey.
The narrative, set during the emergence of Christianity, likely depicts the established Jewish religious institutions and their leaders as rigid, legalistic, or in opposition to the spiritual message of Jesus, thereby presenting a critical view of Judaism's institutional aspects during that period without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals.
The film 'Mariya Magdalina' by Gennadi Voronin, a historical drama focused on the biblical story, contains no discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in an N/A rating for its portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Mariya Magdalina" is a Soviet drama centered on the biblical figure Mary Magdalene, who is historically and canonically female. There is no evidence that this central character, or any other significant character, was portrayed as a different gender than their established historical or canonical identity.
