Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on the harrowing experience of two soldiers in the Turkish military. It emphasizes character development and realistic camaraderie rather than shoehorning in identity politics or forced representation. The story stands on its own merit without obvious ideological intrusion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, friendship, duty, and often masculine courage are portrayed positively. There’s no apparent denigration of family, religion, or classical morality. Instead, these aspects are foundational to the film’s emotional impact.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film appears non-ideological in its approach, focusing on human stories and timeless conflicts. There’s little, if any, overt messaging or caricatured representation of alternative viewpoints. The closest it comes is presenting military values, which is hardly ‘woke’ by modern standards.
