What We Think

Charlie Wilson's War is a product of pre-woke Hollywood, largely eschewing identity-driven storytelling in favor of plotting and character. It focuses on political maneuvering rather than modern cultural debates, keeping the 'woke' factor refreshingly low.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film keeps its focus on historical events and character-driven storytelling, rather than overemphasizing identity politics or prioritizing diversity over merit. The protagonists' personalities and motivations are rooted in the political intrigue of the time, not contemporary ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film features some irreverence and critiques of political institutions, it doesn't go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or masculinity. Traditional roles are depicted largely as they were in that era, and the cultural backdrop remains authentic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though the film largely sticks to a mainstream perspective, it doesn't caricature alternative viewpoints. There’s a range of personalities and opinions among the political players, and no overt push for modern ideological conformity.
