What We Think

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is a textbook example of non-woke, classic filmmaking. It’s free from the ideological heavy-handedness and identity politics that dominate much of today’s cinema. Old-school adventure, plain and simple.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on adventure, classic heroism, and fantasy without prioritizing identity politics or ideological messaging over storytelling. Characters are cast to fit traditional archetypes, and narrative choices serve the plot rather than modern social concerns. Even by today’s standards, it’s refreshingly straightforward.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no subversion of traditional values. Masculinity, heroism, religion, and family duty are portrayed positively, and cultural touchstones are played straight. The tone is respectful of legend and myth without any modern reimagining or rewriting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No trace of ideological monoculture here. Traditional and heroic values are upheld, and there’s no pressure for ideological uniformity. Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized, villains are classic evil-doers, not allegories for dissenting perspectives.
