Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film, finished decades after Orson Welles started it, is more about artistic satire and the decline of an old-Hollywood titan than pushing modern identity politics. Characters are developed with personality and flaws rather than being defined by demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie critiques aspects of Hollywood culture and masculinity but does so through nuanced, period-accurate satire, not obvious mockery or ideological subversion. Traditional values are not a clear target here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn't a single dominant ideology. The film is more interested in lampooning showbiz and artistic egos than enforcing contemporary social dogmas. Viewpoints, both modern and traditional, are depicted without heavy-handed caricature.
