What We Think

'The Mission' is about as far from 'woke' Hollywood fare as you can get these days. It explores faith, redemption, and cultural encounter with seriousness and complexity, without shoehorning in modern ideological concerns.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on personal redemption, sacrifice, and complex character growth, without forcing modern identity politics. Characters are driven by faith and moral conviction rather than contemporary ideological needs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion is treated with gravity and respect, and the family unit is seen as significant. Traditional morality is explored rather than undermined, though there is some critique of institutional corruption, it's within a historical framework.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews (Jesuit priests, colonial powers, indigenous people) are presented sincerely, and there's substantial moral nuance. The film does not push a uniform ideological stance and avoids present-day dogma.
