Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses primarily on historical figures and events, with little sign of shoehorned identity politics or forced representation. Character development is grounded in the plot and era, steering clear of overemphasized modern identity themes. In our view, narrative integrity is well maintained.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional masculinity are presented respectfully and as crucial motivators for the characters. The story leans on the strength of familial and national bonds, rather than undermining them for ideological critiques. Only minimal hints, if any, of revising cultural or historical context for a modern lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are handled with nuance. While the main characters are celebrated, opposing perspectives appear in historical context rather than as modern caricatures. There's no overwhelming ideological uniformity or villainization of traditional stances. The film opts for realism over preaching.
