What We Think

‘War Machine’ wears its ideological leanings on its sleeve, satirizing a traditionally masculine institution and offering little space for non-woke perspectives. While still watchable, it’s clear that traditional values and alternative viewpoints weren’t exactly top priorities here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film takes frequent detours into political satire, sometimes prioritizing commentary over nuanced characterization. While the lead is a traditional masculine figure, the narrative occasionally foregrounds ideological criticism of military leadership, detracting from personal development and authentic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

‘War Machine’ presents military culture and traditional institutions in a broadly negative light, with much of the humor coming at the expense of hierarchy, masculinity, and patriotic ideals. There’s little reverence for the traditional values often associated with war narratives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film gives a one-sided portrayal of the conflict, treating skepticism toward the war almost as a prerequisite for intelligence or morality. Alternative or more traditional viewpoints are largely caricatured or sidelined.
