What We Think

Miracle is refreshingly non-woke. It's an unapologetic celebration of American grit and sportsmanship, focusing on real character and patriotism instead of modern ideological themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Miracle is a classic sports drama focusing on the true story of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. Identity politics and forced diversity are essentially absent, the cast and characters reflect the real athletes involved in the events, and characterization is built around personality, skill, and teamwork rather than checking ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as patriotism, teamwork, masculinity, family, and perseverance are front and center. There's no undermining of masculinity or cultural revisionism; in fact, the story celebrates these themes. It honors American values and the sense of purpose that drove the team during the Cold War era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are limited, but that's mainly because the film is firmly rooted in America during the Cold War. There’s no overt villainization of traditional views, and the moral universe is built around classic ideals rather than any modern ideological monoculture.
