What We Think

‘Son of God’ keeps things old-school, focusing on faith and core biblical storytelling. It stands out as refreshingly non-woke by modern Hollywood standards, avoiding the usual pitfalls of forced representation or virtue-signaling. For those tired of ideological preaching from the big screen, this is about as safe as it gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is fairly traditional, staying true to biblical accounts without forcing modern identity politics. Characters are cast reasonably in line with historical/cultural expectations, and narrative takes clear precedence over message signaling. There’s very little visible ideological meddling in the story or characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Son of God’ is unapologetically rooted in traditional Christian values, family, and morality. It upholds masculine and feminine roles in a context-appropriate way, treating faith, sacrifice, and virtue with seriousness rather than subversion or irony. There’s no detectable effort to undermine cultural or religious heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Though the perspective is strongly Christian, that’s the historical subject. Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked, but there’s certainly no attempt at modern ideological alignment or unnecessary villainization of dissenting voices. The film simply isn’t interested in current social justice narratives.
