Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

It’s more about spectacle than social commentary.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible agenda involving family, religion, masculinity, or morality. The film draws on fantastical imagery, acrobatics, and romance without revising tradition or pushing any cultural subversions. If anything, it’s a neutral celebration of imagination and the arts.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no ideological or political themes present. The film isn’t structured around any modern morality play, just a dreamlike journey and visual storytelling. Viewers would be hard-pressed to find any sign of ideological monoculture or the villainization of dissent within this escapist circus fantasy.
