What We Think

'Perfidious Byzantine' is about as non-woke as they come, focusing on tradition, classic humor, and farce without a hint of Hollywood’s recent ideological trappings.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what’s available, 'Perfidious Byzantine' seems to prioritize slapstick humor and situational comedy over modern ideological messaging. Character focus is on broad archetypes common in Turkish comedy, not identity politics. Forced representation and the 'flawless' diverse character trope aren’t evident.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film draws on traditional Turkish humor and folklore, with no obvious attempt to undermine family, religion, masculinity, or culture. If anything, it affectionately parodies and references classic sources. Any subversion is tongue-in-cheek rather than agenda-driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little sign of the modern ideological uniformity one expects from more recent films. The worldview is light-hearted, traditional, and avoids preachiness; traditional and alternative perspectives are mostly played for laughs.
