What We Think

Flawless was progressive for its era, clearly incorporating early 'woke' elements, challenging traditional gender roles and focusing on marginalized identities. However, it stops short of the overwhelming ideological uniformity seen in more recent films.

Woke

What is this?

The film challenges traditional masculinity and explores LGBTQ themes, portraying traditional norms as flawed or in need of critique. There is clear subversion of gender roles, though some respect for differing perspectives remains, given the film's age.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture
