What We Think

An unashamedly non-woke film, "Same Kind of Different as Me" is more concerned with themes of faith and reconciliation than chasing diversity quotas or preaching the latest social fashions. A refreshing throwback to straightforward, sincere storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers around character growth, faith, and redemption, with characters chosen for their suitability to the heartfelt story rather than identity politics. There's no visible shoehorning of representation or narrative shortcuts for the sake of diversity. It focuses on personality and spiritual development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, faith, forgiveness, and personal responsibility are at the film’s core. Religion (Christianity) is treated with respect, and masculinity is portrayed earnestly. There's no attempt to mock or undermine cultural or moral foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film clearly favors faith and redemption, it doesn't do so by demonizing or caricaturing alternative worldviews. There's room for character conflict and growth without resorting to cartoonish portrayals of dissenters.
