What We Think

"The Alamo" (2004) keeps things historically grounded and mostly avoids the major pitfalls of modern Hollywood wokeness. While it doesn’t break ground for traditionalism, it also resists rewriting the past to suit current ideological fashions. It’s about as non-woke as a recent (relatively speaking) studio historical drama gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely stays true to the historical context, focusing on the events and personalities that shaped the Texas Revolution. Characters are portrayed with their flaws and merits, and casting decisions appear driven more by fit and historical accuracy than a checklist of modern identity representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family, faith, and traditional masculinity are presented without overt derision or revision. While some moral complexities are explored, the film generally respects traditional values and avoids rewriting history to fit 21st-century ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though the film doesn't give much room for modern ideological debate, it doesn't villainize tradition or present all dissenters as caricatures. Both sides are given some nuance, avoiding a one-sided moral lecture.
