What We Think

‘An Innocent Man’ lands squarely in the non-woke camp, focusing on a classic, character-driven narrative. It’s a time capsule from an era when story took precedence over politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on individual character arcs and a straightforward story without shoehorning forced representation or identity-centric narratives. Characters are depicted with flaws, growth, and consequences. No sense that identity politics dictate the casting or story beats.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like marriage, personal responsibility, and moral clarity are evident. Masculinity isn't pathologized, and family is portrayed as important. The film neither mocks tradition nor bends over backwards to inject modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are not ridiculed, and the film doesn't promote any distinct ideological agenda. Characters are allowed complexity, and there's little sign of what we would now call a 'woke' monoculture.
