Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Four Feathers (2002) largely respects its period setting, with character arcs driven by motivations and personal growth rather than by contemporary identity politics. Casting choices align with the historical context, and there's little indication that diversity is forced or that characters exist to check modern ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values around honor, loyalty, and masculinity are at the heart of the film. It presents themes of courage, self-doubt, and redemption without undermining concepts like family or faith. Gender roles and cultural backgrounds stick fairly close to 19th-century realities without modern reinterpretation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not mocked or villainized, and the film offers a degree of moral complexity. While some may see certain tropes as outdated, it does not aggressively promote modern ideological viewpoints or demonize the traditional.
