Koyaanisqatsi1983

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

Koyaanisqatsi is about as non-woke as it gets. It doesn’t have characters, ideology, or even a conventional story , just mesmerizing visuals and an iconic score. No modern social themes in sight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Koyaanisqatsi lacks any narrative, characters, or dialogue. It’s purely a visual and musical experience with no recognizable characters to wedge identity politics into. Absolutely nothing here is sacrificed for the sake of current ideological trends , or, frankly, any trends at all.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

As a non-narrative documentary focusing on cityscapes versus nature, the film neither undermines nor promotes any cultural, religious, or traditional values. It doesn’t address gender roles, family, or morality; it simply observes humanity's impact on the world.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no on-screen worldview, no spoken message, and nothing resembling an overt ideology. The focus is on images and music, not on promoting or mocking any particular perspective or social issue.
