Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hotel Rwanda puts storytelling and character at the forefront, focusing on real historical events and individual actions rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are fleshed out based on personal decisions and moral courage. Representation flows organically from the true-life context.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats traditional values like family, faith, and community as essential to survival and nobility. Masculinity is not mocked but shown through responsible leadership and sacrifice. While it highlights brutality, it does so without attempting modern ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, especially in the contrast between Western passivity and local agency. While the Western media and governments are passively criticized, the film offers a mostly even-handed take, not an overt ideological monoculture.
