Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Throne of Blood" is an adaptation of Macbeth transplanted into feudal Japan, focusing on character flaws, ambition, and tragedy. There’s no sense that casting or character arcs are influenced by modern identity politics, the narrative is king here (pun intended).

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film deeply respects traditional Japanese culture, with strong representations of duty, family, loyalty, and the supernatural, a direct reflection of both Shakespearean themes and Japanese folklore. There isn’t any attempt to subvert or revise historical or cultural norms to fit modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no evidence of ideological enforcement or caricaturized ‘villains’ representing dissent. The tragedy unfolds purely from personal flaws and fate, with nothing resembling modern woke dogma or forced uniformity of opinion.
