What We Think

Push is a straightforward sci-fi thriller that largely avoids modern ideological trends. Its casting and character arcs serve the action-oriented plot, not any 'woke' checklist. If you're looking for a non-woke night at the movies, this one is about as safe as they come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Push is primarily a sci-fi action film grounded in a story about people with psychic powers. Character backgrounds are diverse, but diversity is not the focus or forced. Characters are driven by the plot's demands rather than by identity-based box-checking, and traditional storytelling principles appear to guide major choices.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little in Push that tries to undermine religion, family, masculinity, or tradition. Masculine and feminine roles are depicted in fairly standard ways, and core values aren't subverted or mocked. The film isn't aiming for cultural revisionism, it's just an action romp with a psychic twist.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's conflict is drawn from its sci-fi setting, not modern culture-war issues. No heavy-handed ideological messages, villainization of traditional perspectives, or echo chambers are noticeable. Push is focused more on action and suspense than on making a social statement.
