What We Think

For a modern film, ‘The Body’ is relatively restrained on the woke spectrum. The story comes first, there’s authentic wrestling with tradition, and it avoids heavy-handed messaging or one-note portrayals of worldview conflicts. This is about as non-woke as a post-2000s Hollywood release gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily sticks to a story-driven narrative, centered on faith, archaeology, and character motivations rather than shoehorning diverse identities for their own sake. It doesn't appear to have forced representation or flawless characters, focusing instead on realistic personal dilemmas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

‘The Body’ critically explores themes of Christianity and faith, occasionally posing challenging questions about organized religion’s role and impact. Some might see this as scrutinizing tradition, but the film also gives space for sincere religious belief and does not outright vilify faith or family values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s some questioning of established beliefs, but the film actually provides room for different viewpoints on faith and science, with a balanced presentation rather than a parade of ideological soapboxing or caricaturing of alternative positions.
