Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic adaptation sticks very closely to Edmond Rostand’s original play. Character traits, motivations, and relationships are preserved and developed through personality and skill, not modern identity politics. There’s no sign of forced representation or rewriting characters for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds traditional views of love, honor, masculinity, and sacrifice without subversion. In fact, themes like unrequited love and personal growth are rooted in timeless virtues, and there’s no attempt to undermine faith, family, or tradition here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No evidence of villainizing traditional perspectives or pushing ideological uniformity. The story welcomes debate about love and honor but never clamps down on alternative worldviews. Classic, pluralistic, and refreshingly non-woke.
