What We Think

The Missouri Breaks is refreshingly low on modern woke elements. It prioritizes gritty Western drama and authentic character portrayals, steering well clear of today’s ideological pitfalls. A non-woke classic for those missing genuine storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Missouri Breaks features traditional Western storytelling, focusing on complex characters and raw survival, not modern ideological checklists. Identity traits are overshadowed by personality and skill, with no sign of today’s forced representation trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Classic themes like justice, masculinity, and rugged individualism are central. Family and morality may be ambiguous, but they aren’t mocked or subverted for ideological purposes. Gender roles reflect the historical setting, they certainly aren't modernized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film leans into the anti-hero motif and lawlessness, it doesn’t present a uniform ideology or caricature traditional values. Characters display a spectrum of motives and worldviews without any obvious lecturing or modern moralizing.
