What We Think

Unforgiven is a rare modern classic that values story and character over ideology. While morally complex, it resists the woke trend and lets the Old West speak for itself, rather than through a contemporary ideological filter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Unforgiven prioritizes its gritty storytelling and flawed characters over any obvious identity politics. Characters are crafted with depth and realism, fitting the harsh setting of the Old West without feeling shoehorned in to fulfill modern quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does critique certain aspects of violence and masculinity, it doesn’t outright mock or undermine traditional values. Instead, it offers a nuanced exploration of moral ambiguity without rewriting history or ridiculing foundational aspects of culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a range of perspectives, from cold-blooded killers to lawmen grappling with their own moral failings. Traditional and non-traditional viewpoints are presented, and none is cartoonishly villainized, providing space for real debate.
