Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Vanilla Sky is focused on existential themes, personal responsibility, and reality versus illusion. Characters are written for narrative depth rather than identity politics, race, gender, and sexuality are not major focal points. The plot stands firmly on psychological intrigue and individual struggle, not on forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not overtly undermine traditional values. Family, religion, and masculinity are either background elements or nuanced aspects rather than targets for criticism. Instead, the film dwells on personal growth and redemption in a surreal context, without ideological overtones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Vanilla Sky avoids pushing overt ideology or mocking alternative beliefs. While the protagonist’s worldview is challenged, the film is open-ended, inviting personal interpretation rather than enforcing modern moral consensus.
