Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is a playful, slapstick adventure prioritizing character quirks and humor over identity. There’s little sign that narrative integrity takes a back seat to any ideological message. Casting and character arcs are driven by comedic needs rather than forced representation or ideological signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values aren’t attacked or subverted here, if anything, the film gives fun, harmless ribbing to both authority and rebels. There's no culture war on display: masculinity, family, or religion aren’t really targets or overly glorified either. It’s simply light-hearted entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no overt modern ideological messaging. The story is set in a historical context, but avoids lecturing or promoting any one worldview. Any caricatured authority figures exist solely for laughs, not as stand-ins for some political agenda.
