Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gloomy Sunday tells a romantic drama set against the real historical backdrop of World War II. Character depth focuses on motivations, flaws, and relationships rather than modern identity politics. There's no apparent shoehorning of diversity or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film treats themes like love, betrayal, and war without undermining traditional values. While it critiques certain historical realities, it doesn't mock or subvert religion, family, or traditional masculinity in any overtly modern ideological way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film allows for complexity in its characters and motivations, reflecting the moral confusion of its time. There's no clear ideological monoculture; rather, viewers are left to interpret the actions of deeply flawed individuals.
