What We Think

Anastasia (1956) is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets. Its narrative champions personal growth and traditional values without contemporary ideological baggage. A film that, if released today, would likely seem refreshingly apolitical by current standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks closely to its narrative, focusing on storytelling and character development. Identity characteristics are secondary to the central plot, and characters are defined by their actions and personalities rather than modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of family, legacy, and cultural heritage are central. Masculinity and femininity are presented in a classic manner, and religious, familial, and societal traditions are treated respectfully and seriously.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While alternative worldviews are not strongly championed, the film reflects its time period with pluralism largely focused on personal motives, not sweeping ideological statements. No modern ideological lens is pushed, and traditional norms are not mocked.
