What We Think

The Prince of Egypt is that rare non-woke Hollywood production, committed to storytelling over preaching. It respects its religious, historical, and cultural foundations, steering clear of forcing modern agendas onto ancient narratives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Prince of Egypt keeps its focus on the biblical story of Moses without shoehorning modern identity politics or privileging characters for checkbox diversity. Its character development arises from plot and faith, not 1990s buzzwords.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the film is a classic, respectful towards religion, family, tradition, and even masculinity. The story portrays faith and family as central virtues, and doesn’t undercut these with modern snark or subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious contemporary ideological messaging; the faith traditions are presented earnestly, not mocked, and alternative views appear mainly as matters of doubt or rivalry, fitting for an ancient story.
