A Million Ways to Die in the West2014

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

A Million Ways to Die in the West may be crude and irreverent, but it steers clear of forced diversity or heavy-handed modern social commentary. It’s an old-school, equal-opportunity offender that parodies everyone rather than preaching at anyone.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Despite its modern comedic sensibilities, the film doesn’t shoehorn characters based on identity politics. Jokes and story arcs center around classic Western tropes rather than any overtly ideological casting or scripting. Most characters seem written for their comedic potential, not to promote a social agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at aspects of old-school masculinity and frontier morality, but it’s largely irreverent to everything, not targeting faith, tradition, or masculinity with any ideological edge. It’s a satire of the genre rather than an attack on cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are mostly played for laughs, not demonized. The film doesn’t present a serious ideological monoculture. Characters are caricatures for comedic effect, not vehicles for contemporary social messaging.
