What We Think

A relic of a less politicized era, All the President’s Men holds up as a non-woke, skill-focused thriller with little of the social agenda-setting that plagues so much modern cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

All the President’s Men focuses on classic investigative journalism and prioritizes character skill, dedication, and realistic stakes over identity politics. The narrative remains tightly anchored in the true events, and diversity casting or forced representation simply weren’t factors in this era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film maintains respect for American institutions, and although it critiques political power, it doesn’t take aim at the foundations of family, religion, or masculinity. The story revolves around hard work and moral duty, no gender role subversion or cultural revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Its perspective is staunchly journalistic, but alternative views about the Watergate affair are barely explored. Still, the focus was on facts, not caricatured opposition or pushing social ideology, so it doesn’t approach modern monoculture wokeness.
