Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Odessa File maintains narrative integrity, focusing on story and suspense without prioritizing modern identity politics. Character backgrounds and motivations serve the plot rather than contemporary ideological trends. There’s no evidence of forced representation or unrealistic character attributes based on identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s depiction of post-war Germany, legacy of WWII, and personal morality does not attempt to subvert traditional faith, family, or masculinity. Instead, these elements are woven naturally into the story, reflecting the era’s context rather than rewriting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present within the story’s historical setting, and the film avoids caricaturing all opposing ideologies. The exploration focuses on individual motivations rather than presenting a single, dominant modern worldview.
