What We Think

“Blue Sky” is a refreshing example of a film that tells a story without the overbearing baggage of modern wokeness. It focuses on interpersonal drama and avoids needless ideological grandstanding.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Blue Sky” keeps its focus on character development, notably in the portrayal of marital struggles and personal conflict, rather than pushing modern identity politics. The characters are flawed and complex, avoiding the modern trend of hyper-competent, untouchable leads. There’s little evidence of forced diversity or sacrificing story for ideology in this 1994 film.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film navigates themes of family, military duty, and personal loyalty without subverting traditional gender roles or vilifying institutions. While it does touch on the instability of the main female character, it doesn’t overtly undermine traditional cultural or moral foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially regarding authority and marriage, are given fair hearing. Rather than painting any group or tradition as villainous, the film centers on individual struggles and moral ambiguity, displaying a pluralism seldom seen in recent films.
