What We Think

This version of Hamlet sticks to its roots, refusing to bow to modern wokeness. It’s more interested in existential angst than scoring points for diversity or ideology. Pretty safe on the non-woke spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 2000 adaptation closely follows Shakespeare's original story and characters, showing little evidence of narrative sacrifices to modern identity politics or forced representation. If anything, it’s about as classic as you can get in terms of plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s minor modern flair in aesthetics and setting, but the film largely respects the cultural and philosophical weight of Shakespeare’s classic. Traditional themes like family, betrayal, and morality are all intact, without a heavy hand pushing contemporary virtue signaling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives and traditional values are central, with nuanced villains and divided loyalties. There’s no obvious demonization of tradition or unsubtle ideological messaging to be found in this adaptation.
