What We Think

'La Strada' is about as non-woke as it gets, a classic, character-driven story with no hint of modern ideology, forced representation, or agenda-pushing. It’s a time capsule to when movies just tried to move you and not lecture you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story in 'La Strada' is driven by genuine character development, emotion, and the struggles of its protagonists. Identities like race and gender serve the narrative rather than overwhelming it. There's no sign of modern forced representation or character perfectionism seen in later films. Solidly non-woke.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film maintains traditional views on family, faith, masculinity, and human struggle. Its depictions of masculinity, femininity, and societal roles reflect a pre-ideological era, far removed from attempts at revisionism or cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no evidence of a singular modern ideological mindset in 'La Strada.' Worldviews are depicted with complexity, and no one perspective is artificially elevated or villainized. Moral struggle and ambiguity are handled with nuance.
