What We Think

‘Admiral’ is about as non-woke as you can get from modern cinema. It’s a straightforward historical drama, largely uninterested in pushing contemporary ideological themes; instead, it embraces cultural tradition. For those tired of forced representation or revisionism, this one’s refreshingly old-school.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film ‘Admiral’ places its narrative focus on historical figures and events, emphasizing classic storytelling and character-driven arcs without leaning on modern identity themes or forced representation. Characters are selected for their fit within the story’s real-world context rather than any ideological agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, faith, and patriotism are depicted sympathetically. Masculinity and religious faith are handled respectfully, with cultural and historical traditions largely preserved. There’s no apparent effort to undermine Russia’s cultural or moral heritage for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film depicts the Bolsheviks negatively, this is in line with its historical context and focus rather than modern ideological signaling. Alternative viewpoints are presented through supporting characters, without simplistic villainization based on identity issues.
