What We Think

Babylon is a wild ride through Hollywood history, but its modern ideological slant, frequent undermining of traditional values, and one-sided worldview make it a prime example of a high-woke blockbuster.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Babylon indulges in some forced representation and highlights certain identity-driven character arcs, but largely focuses on classic Hollywood excess and ambition. Some modern sensibilities poke through, occasionally distracting from organic character development, but the core narrative mostly remains intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film often undermines traditional values, mocking old-Hollywood morality, masculinity, and family. It leans into chaotic hedonism and critiques established norms, with religion and family given very little weight or shown as outdated. Classic cultural pillars are treated as backgrounds to excess and rebellion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative, non-woke worldviews are mostly absent or depicted as relics of a bigoted past. Characters express modern attitudes about gender, race, and sexuality, with little internal debate. Traditional perspectives are brushed aside, making room for a largely uniform, present-day ideology.
