Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes its characters' personal journeys and internal growth over modern identity politics. While there is a Black mentor figure, his role is classic and archetypal, fitting the era's narrative expectations rather than feeling forced for diversity's sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like personal redemption, courage, and classic masculinity are portrayed positively. The film doesn't subvert gender roles or rewrite historical context to align with modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't mocked, and the story doesn't push any overt political agenda. It's rooted in universal themes rather than today's culture war talking points. No major “woke” monoculture present.
