'Days of Heaven' emphasizes atmosphere and visual storytelling rather than obvious ideological statements. Characters are defined by their circumstances, personalities, and actions, not shoehorned identity traits. There’s minimal evidence of forced representation, and no character is fantastically flawless. The film’s low score here reflects a refreshingly non-woke narrative focus.

The film portrays family, faith, and traditional hardship without mockery or revisionism. Masculine and feminine roles are presented authentically relative to the early 20th-century setting. There’s no subversion of core cultural values, and religion is treated matter-of-factly with neither derision nor glorification. This is about as non-woke as it gets.

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized, there’s little political or moral preaching at all. The story is focused on human struggles rather than social commentary. There’s no sense of ideological monoculture or forced unanimity about ‘modern’ values. The film’s worldview is as open and conflict-driven as its prairie landscapes.
