What We Think

This is about as non-woke as it gets: irreverent, silly, and more interested in making fun of everybody than pushing any agenda. If you're looking for something free from today's ideological fashions, 'Manitou's Shoe' fits the bill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Manitou's Shoe' appears unconcerned with modern identity politics, focusing instead on slapstick humor and parodying Western tropes. Character casting and arcs do not seem to be shaped by current ideological trends, but rather serve the comedic and satirical tone of the film. There's little evidence of forced representation or flawless, hyper-competent diverse characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film satirizes Western and Native American tropes but doesn't aim to undermine religion, family, or masculinity in a modern 'woke' sense. Its humor may be irreverent, but it pokes fun at everyone equally typical of early 2000s comedies, rather than targeting traditional values for revisionist critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

'Manitou's Shoe' is much more interested in broad slapstick than promoting a singular worldview. Traditional archetypes and alternative perspectives are present (however comedically exaggerated), and the film gleefully mocks all sides rather than pushing a modern ideological consensus.
