Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Goodbye Berlin is primarily a coming-of-age story with honest, flawed characters and no sign of forced representation. It focuses on authentic adolescent struggles, steering clear of heavy-handed identity politics or preachy messaging. The story is character-driven and doesn't appear compromised by modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents family dysfunction and coming-of-age themes, but it doesn't actively undermine traditional values or mock masculinity, religion, or cultural roots. Traditional gender roles are not aggressively subverted, and the moral framework is rooted in personal growth, not modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Goodbye Berlin does not overtly promote a single modern worldview or stigmatize dissenting perspectives. Characters are allowed to have flaws and grow, with no indication that the film pushes a uniform set of ideological beliefs on identity or culture.
