Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dark Passage is a classic noir that emphasizes character, suspense, and storytelling over any form of forced identity politics. Character development is rooted in narrative needs rather than contemporary social agendas. There's no indication of casting or characterization that prioritizes ideology over plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film reflects traditional postwar American values with depictions of masculinity, morality, and the nuclear family. It neither mocks nor subverts religion, family, or historical norms. There's no attempt to rewrite history or undermine established social foundations, just good old-fashioned noir intrigue.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film doesn't overtly represent alternative worldviews, it avoids caricature or villainization of any traditional values. Its focus is on mystery rather than ideology, offering no clear moral dogma or imposed groupthink.
