What We Think

A classic Western with almost no 'woke' undertones. Focused on fun, grit, and legendary characters, it’s an endangered artifact in today’s Hollywood climate. Non-woke viewers can rest easy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes story, character depth, and Western grit over modern identity politics. Casting and story choices focus on narrative coherence, not diversity quotas. It’s about legends, not checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, individuality, and complex morality are foundational. There’s no sign of the usual cultural subversions; masculinity and camaraderie are celebrated, and the family is respected, if more offscreen.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film reflects pluralism, with morally ambiguous leads and respect for different perspectives. Alternative worldviews aren’t demonized; there’s an old-school openness rare in modern Hollywood.
