In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Hannibal Rising" is as non-woke as it gets for a 2007 thriller. No forced identity politics, minimal modern ideological influence, and a pretty classic revenge origin story. Not much for the woke police to do here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While "Hannibal Rising" may suffer from narrative flaws, its issues stem from ambition rather than shoehorning in identity-driven themes. Characters are written according to their narrative roles, with focus on Hannibal’s origin rather than external identity factors. There’s little evidence of forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on traditional themes like vengeance, family trauma, and the horrors of war. It portrays masculinity and morality through a gritty lens yet doesn't undermine or mock traditional values. The focus is on Hannibal's individual pathology, not cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is an absence of modern ideological signaling. The film has little interest in promoting any current political or social views. Alternative perspectives are neither villainized nor elevated.
