Not Woke

What is this?

Apollo 13 puts story and realism at the forefront, focusing on the challenges, teamwork, and competence of its historical characters. There's no sense that casting or character arcs were built primarily around modern identity politics. The film is firmly grounded in merit and skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds traditional values: family, patriotism, faith, masculinity, and collaboration. Religion and family are shown positively, and the classic heroism of the era is celebrated rather than mocked or reimagined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are minimally addressed, but that reflects the historical reality. There's no shoehorned moralizing, and the film avoids depicting any group as a villain for their worldview. The focus remains on survival and ingenuity.
