Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tarzan (1999) largely sticks to classic storytelling, focusing on character growth, adventure, and relationships rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics. The casting prioritizes voice talent and story fit over forced diversity, resulting in strong characters who fit well within their historical and narrative context.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents family, traditional masculinity, and moral choices in a positive light. It doesn’t undermine religion or heritage; in fact, themes of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and legacy are front and center. There’s no sense of modern values being retrofitted onto the historical setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views are treated sincerely. The villains aren't mere stand-ins for 'bad' ideologies, and there’s room for nuance, characters have internal conflict and debate. There’s no overt preaching or mocking of traditional views; it's just a classic adventure told straightforwardly, without the usual modern checklist.
