What We Think

Gettysburg keeps its focus on history, character, and military drama rather than contemporary ideological trends. For those tired of relentless wokeness, it’s a clear breath of fresh, old-school cinematic air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gettysburg is focused on historical figures and events, with casting and characterization strongly based on historical records rather than modern identity concerns. There’s little evidence of forced representation or shoehorned ideological themes, it’s a straightforward war drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as duty, faith, masculinity, and camaraderie are front and center. The film shows respect for both sides’ convictions and beliefs, and doesn’t attempt any revisionist moralizing or subversion of cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film clearly leans toward honoring the Union cause, it attempts a fair-handed portrayal and humanizes figures on both sides, largely avoiding caricatures or ideological echo chambers.
