What We Think

A classic Western that scores almost zero on the woke meter. ‘For a Few Dollars More’ is more concerned with gunslingers and outlaw showdowns than ticking any modern ideological boxes. It’s a refreshing escape from today’s trend of overbearing social commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is driven by classic Western storytelling, where character development, personal motives, and gritty survival take priority over nods to modern identity politics. There’s no sign of forced identity themes or ‘diversity boxes’ being checked; every character earns their place based on the story’s logic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like masculinity, moral ambiguity, and personal honor are central. The film doesn’t undermine family, religion, or established cultural traditions, in fact, it leans into them. There’s a slight sense of moral relativism, but nothing that aligns with today’s trend of subverting all conventions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie offers a variety of perspectives within its Old West setting, focusing on individual morality rather than demonizing any particular worldview. No one is villainized for traditional values, and ideological conflicts are personal, not didactic. Completely free of modern, ideologically uniform messaging.
