What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke film by modern standards, Hope and Glory delivers an honest, character-driven story. It respects its historical and cultural setting without shoehorning in modern ideology or forced diversity. A nice reminder of how films once prioritized story over soapboxing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hope and Glory is primarily a coming-of-age story set during WWII, focusing on a young boy's experiences. There is virtually no evidence that casting or character development was driven by modern identity politics or forced representation. The film showcases nuanced, authentic characters without relying on contemporary 'woke' tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats themes like family, tradition, and British wartime spirit with respect. Masculinity and femininity are depicted in historical context, reflecting the era rather than subverting or mocking traditional roles. Religion and morality are present as part of daily life, without obvious revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While Hope and Glory is focused on a specific family, it doesn’t use its narrative to attack or caricature traditional worldviews. Any critique of authority feels grounded in personal perspective, not modern ideology. There’s no strong push for ideological uniformity, and plural views are present.
