What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative strictly centers on historical analysis and personal reflection. Identity factors and forced representation are simply not a focus in this documentary. It’s almost clinical in its approach, delving into facts, decisions, and consequences without trying to retrofit modern ideological talking points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘The Fog of War’ presents American history, its leaders, and institutions in a way that is serious and reflective. While it’s critical of some decisions, it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine tradition, morality, patriotism, or masculinity. There’s no apparent agenda to subvert foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily features one man’s perspective (Robert McNamara), but it at least allows for some level of introspection and regret. It doesn’t aggressively villainize alternative viewpoints, though it does center mostly on elite perspectives.
