Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on personal growth, faith, and community, with characters developed through traditional virtues like humility and perseverance. The story unfolds organically, without modern identity politics or identity-based casting. It keeps its focus on character, not demographic boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Going My Way' upholds and even celebrates Catholic faith, community, and traditional family values. Masculinity is depicted in a positive light, with priests as role models. There’s no attempt to undermine cultural or religious traditions, if anything, it goes all-in supporting them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t dip into modern ideological debates at all. While it doesn't offer much in terms of dissenting worldviews, its monoculture is thoroughly non-woke, rooted in faith, tradition, and respect for authority, not modern ideological narratives.
