In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Da Vinci Code leans heavily into historical revisionism and challenges religious authority, but doesn’t serve up the kind of modern identity-focused wokeness Hollywood later embraced. It’s revisionist, not exactly 'woke', but still gives tradition a hard time.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While The Da Vinci Code courts controversy, it's more of a thriller built around puzzles and lore, not a canvas for modern identity politics. Characters are distinct for skills and personalities rather than checked-off diversity boxes. Forced representation and character invincibility are not major themes here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film does undermine traditional religious views, painting the Church as secretive and morally questionable. It spins historical revisionism, recasting Christian history to fit sensational conspiracy theories. Some may see this as undermining bedrock cultural and religious institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s an element of villainizing institutional religion, but there remains some moral nuance. Not everyone lines up with the same worldview, and open debate happens onscreen, but traditional faith is almost always painted as suspect.
