Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's focus remains on romance and personal growth, rather than prioritizing identity politics. Characters are defined by relatable motivations and flaws, not just their backgrounds. No sense that casting or story arcs were shaped by box-ticking or woke imperatives, a breath of fresh air compared to more recent fare.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like romance, family, and responsibility are highlighted. Masculinity is presented in a positive light, and there is no effort to undermine religion, gender roles, or traditional expectations. The film more or less celebrates classic fairy-tale elements instead of subverting them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film sticks with mainstream romantic ideas and doesn't explore a vast array of worldviews, it doesn't ridicule or villainize disagreement. Viewers can find some pluralism in supporting and opposing character dynamics, it avoids the echo chamber effect seen in much more recent films.
