What We Think

GodFather (2022) is refreshingly non-woke. It puts story first, keeps politics nuanced, respects cultural values, and avoids the usual Hollywood identity pitfalls. If only more new films followed this model!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

GodFather (2022) focuses chiefly on power struggles and political maneuvering, with character motivations largely grounded in traditional storytelling rather than identity-driven agendas. The cast and character arcs fit organically within the world, and there’s little sense that identity traits overshadow personal skill or narrative logic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects themes like family, loyalty, and morality, in fact, it arguably celebrates these. There’s little to suggest that traditional values are subverted or mocked. If anything, the story leans on well-established cultural ideals such as honor, mentorship, and legacy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present through competing political factions. ‘Villains’ aren’t reduced to simplistic stereotypes, and the film doesn’t shoehorn in one-note ideological lessons. Instead, it’s a classic power drama with pluralism in viewpoints and motivations.
