Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Fury' focuses intently on the brutal realities of World War II, with character development centered on skill and personality. There’s no noticeable emphasis on modern identity politics, race, gender, or sexuality never overshadow the central story. This is old-school, character-driven war drama at its core.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually upholds more traditional views on masculinity, camaraderie, and sacrifice. Family, religion, and morality are examined in the gritty context of war, but never undermined or mocked. There's no revisionist history or overt subversion of Western cultural values to be found.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

'Fury' avoids soapboxing or mocking traditional worldviews. There’s no push for modern ideological uniformity, and the movie depicts a range of personalities and moral struggles without simplifying or villainizing any side. It’s refreshingly grounded.
