What We Think

Taps is about as non-woke as they come, rooted in traditional values, strong narrative integrity, and little sign of the modern ideological template. Not a hint of forced representation or revisionism to be found.

The film largely upholds traditional values of duty, honor, and hierarchy, and portrays family, masculinity, and morality through classic, if flawed, archetypes. There's no attempt to subvert or mock these themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie allows internal conflict and debate, representing both the virtues and failings of military discipline. Dissenting views are explored through nuanced characters, not reduced to caricatures.
