Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film sticks closely to the biblical text without tacking on modern identity politics or unnecessary character changes. The storytelling is rooted in the scripture itself, maintaining narrative focus without prioritizing diversity checkboxes or ideological subplots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's clear reverence for the source material, with traditional views on religion, family, and morality at the forefront. Masculinity is depicted in line with the era and religious text, and there’s no attempt to revise or undermine longstanding cultural traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

As the film centers on a biblical account, alternative worldviews aren’t explored. However, given it’s a religious adaptation, this is integral, not a sign of modern 'woke' uniformity. There’s no contemporary villainization of dissent.
