Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

Traditional values such as family, marriage, masculinity, and moral fortitude are honored. Masculine virtues and strong family bonds are integral to the story, and religion is respectfully depicted, staying true to the era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

There's no sign of the modern ideological monoculture. The film reflects its time, with no caricature or demonization of traditional viewpoints. If anything, it’s a love letter to American traditions, and there's little to no overt ideological messaging.
