What We Think

This isn’t a woke film. "A Knight’s Tale" uses contemporary humor and style but keeps the focus on classic underdog themes, personal growth, and good old jousting fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While "A Knight’s Tale" features a diverse cast and some anachronistic elements, it never feels like the story is hijacked by modern identity politics. Character arcs focus on merit, determination, and humor, not ideology-driven representation. The film emphasizes skills and virtues over immutable traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie does play loosely with history, tossing in modern music and sensibilities, but it generally treats chivalry, family, and honor with respect, albeit through a lighthearted lens. Masculinity isn’t mocked, and traditional values aren’t aggressively subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to suggest an ideological monoculture. The film’s worldview is inclusive of underdogs and rebels, but it doesn’t villainize tradition. There’s fun poked at the aristocracy, but it’s more Robin Hood than modern activism.
