In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Parallax View is essentially woke-free by contemporary standards. Its focus is classic 1970s cynicism toward power, not identity or modern ideology. You won't find any of today’s typical Hollywood wokeness here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Parallax View is a 1970s thriller focused on conspiracy and political intrigue. Characters are driven by their roles, with little emphasis on modern identity politics or forced diversity. The film tells its story without making identity a major factor, so the woke influence here is virtually nonexistent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While skeptical of institutions, the film primarily critiques government power and corruption, not traditional cultural touchstones such as religion, family, or masculinity. It doesn’t undermine these values or engage in retroactive reinterpretation based on modern ideologies.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are presented as part of the paranoia and suspicion surrounding conspiracy, not in terms of modern ideological battles. There's no apparent agenda or mocking of traditional perspectives; the main target is the shadowy establishment.
