What We Think

'Gotti' is a relic of pre-woke filmmaking. It prioritizes narrative and period authenticity over ideology, offering viewers a non-woke experience, almost nostalgic in its focus on actual storytelling rather than ticking boxes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on John Gotti's rise in the mob, prioritizing character development and gritty realism over modern identity politics. Casting choices appear merit-based and contextual to the real-life figures involved, not driven by forced diversity quotas common in recent cinema.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Gotti' centers around traditional ideas of family, loyalty, masculinity, and moral ambiguity, reflecting the era's norms. It neither mocks nor undermines fundamental social institutions, instead presenting them as key dramatic drivers without modern revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews on law, loyalty, and organized crime are sincerely depicted. There’s no overt message pushing current ideological trends, and characters are not reduced to caricatures supporting a single modern worldview.
