What We Think

This is about as non-woke as it gets. "The Heroes of Telemark" sticks to classic storytelling and themes, with no sign of modern ideological bends. It’s focused, traditional, and unashamedly rooted in its time and subject matter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film strongly focuses on historical events and character actions, with little to no emphasis on modern identity politics or forced representation. Characters are defined primarily by their roles in the story, not by identity traits unrelated to the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like bravery, sacrifice, and duty are front and center. Masculinity, family, and national identity are treated respectfully, with no attempts to undermine or mock them in the name of modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While some patriotic and Allied perspectives dominate, there’s little to suggest deliberate caricaturing of opposing worldviews beyond the standard WWII good-versus-evil framing common to the era, and it avoids heavy-handed moralizing.
