What We Think

'The Wind' avoids most of the heavy-handed identity and ideological preaching common in today’s Hollywood, focusing instead on psychological horror. Its portrayal of a female lead is modern but not glaringly ‘woke.’

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'The Wind' puts a frontier woman at the film’s center, her character is primarily fleshed out through tension and paranoia rather than ticking every identity box. The story largely remains focused on atmospheric horror rather than pushing overt ideological themes, though some may view the female-centric narrative as a modern spin.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There’s a mild subversion of traditional gender roles by having a woman tackle isolation and danger on the plains, but the film frames this with historical context rather than as a blatant ideological statement. Religious undertones are present but more as horror elements than commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional worldviews aren't particularly mocked; the setting is harsh and everyone struggles. The film seems more interested in psychological tension than moralizing about identity.
