Traditional values are neither subverted nor mocked. Masculinity, friendship, moral ambiguity, and personal loyalty are presented authentically, with no ideological filter imposed on family, faith, or tradition. The film respects its historical context and doesn't take potshots at cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke
