What We Think

ITV's 2007 'Mansfield Park' remains remarkably non-woke. The narrative and characters are true to Austen's novel, traditional cultural foundations are respected, and the story allows for period-appropriate conflict and perspectives. A rare period drama that hasn't jumped aboard the woke bandwagon.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation largely sticks to the original Austen narrative, with character motivations and backgrounds aligned with the novel. Characters are developed according to era-appropriate values, and identity factors like race, gender, and sexuality are not forced or emphasized over skill, wit, or personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays true to its early 19th-century British setting, maintaining traditional views on family, religion, gender roles, and morality. There is little effort to rewrite history or elevate contemporary values above the source material.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternate viewpoints and period-accurate beliefs are present. While the film may feel slightly modernized, it does not entirely flatten ideology, traditional and dissenting views both feature, befitting an Austen adaptation.
