In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Casino Royale is about as non-woke as you can get. No forced diversity, no subverted gender roles, just classic spy action. It doesn’t even try for ideological balance, but that wasn’t the goal in 1953. A refreshing relic for those tired of modern lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Casino Royale is all business, characters are defined by abilities, flaws, and moral struggle, not by modern identity politics. James Bond is unapologetically skilled but also human, facing genuine risks and consequences. Diversity quotas or forced representation are nowhere in sight.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, patriotism, and mid-century morality take center stage. Gender roles and Western values are depicted as norms, with no effort to undermine religious, family, or cultural institutions. To a modern reader, it's almost quaint in its lack of deconstruction.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The worldview is pretty uniform but reflects its era, traditional, Eurocentric, and focused on good versus evil. Alternative perspectives aren't really explored, but they're not caricatured either. It's more a product of its time than intentional ideological exclusion.
