Django Unchained2012

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Strongly woke in its anti-traditional narrative and simplistic take on historical morality, though not as overtly preachy as some modern films. Cultural revisionism and monoculture are its main 'woke' hallmarks here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Django Unchained' focuses heavily on race and issues of slavery, it largely does so through a compelling revenge narrative rather than forced representation. However, some may feel that certain characters are idealized to fit contemporary sensibilities, nudging the score higher.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film actively critiques and subverts the antebellum South, depicting traditional cultural hierarchies and authority figures as unequivocally villainous, which aligns with a modern ideological lens and offers little nuance to historical complexities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

'Django Unchained' paints virtually all dissenting viewpoints or traditional perspectives as outright evil, with little room for alternative interpretations or sincere opposing characters, making its point of view very clear.
