Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Eega's narrative is focused on a unique revenge story and doesn't appear to prioritize identity politics or forced representation. Characters are defined by their personality and roles, rather than modern identity themes. The story's charm lies in its originality and adherence to narrative rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't subvert traditional values, gender roles, or cultural norms. Masculinity, family honor, and morality are depicted in a straightforward, even classic, fashion. There's a strong sense of cultural rootedness throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological monoculture. Traditional values are portrayed sincerely, without mockery or villainization. There is no preachy modern agenda present in its characters or worldview, making it quite non-woke by modern standards.
