The narrative is entirely focused on character and storytelling, with no signs of forced identity politics or artificial diversity. All roles are played for their fit within the story and time period, not box-checking for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

Traditional family, religion, and morality are treated with respect. The film highlights the bond between a father figure and a child, reinforcing values rather than subverting them. There’s no agenda to undermine foundational Western culture here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

No evidence of ideological monoculture, there’s genuine portrayal of social hardship, morality, and plural perspectives. The film doesn’t mock or villainize traditional values, nor does it preach modern doctrine to its audience.
