Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1963 version of "The Day of the Triffids" sticks closely to survival thriller conventions. Character development is based on skill, circumstance, and relationships, rather than identity politics or modern ideological trends. No noticeable forced representation or shoehorned diversity here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, masculinity, and morality are presented without cynicism or subversion. The film does not attempt to undermine religious or cultural traditions, and it stays firmly rooted in the sensibilities of its era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

As expected from films of the early '60s, there’s little overt ideological messaging. Competing perspectives are rarely addressed, but at least there’s no mocking of traditional views. Any lack of pluralism comes across as a feature of its time rather than a deliberate exclusion.
