Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on the relationship between a boy and his disfigured mentor, with character and plot development prioritizing personal growth and redemption over identity politics or forced representation. Narrative integrity is maintained and not overshadowed by ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes, family, masculinity, mentorship, are explored sincerely, without undermining conventional moral frameworks or mocking religious or cultural values. It stays grounded in classic, non-woke storytelling without feeling the need to 'update' history for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids shoehorning in modern identity debates or treating traditional perspectives as villainous. Characters are complex, and the story allows for moral nuance rather than ideological uniformity. No overt monoculture at play here.
