Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story is straightforward and prioritizes character-driven comedy. There is no focus on modern identity politics or virtue signaling; the film centers on classic slapstick antics and organic character arcs, without forced diversity or contemporary ideological casting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Way Out West largely upholds traditional values for its time: family, masculinity, and Western folklore are depicted without subversion or irony. Gender roles, religion, and moral themes are portrayed in an earnest and traditional manner with little reinterpretation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story doesn’t explore a wide array of worldviews, it reflects the cultural norms of its era. No effort is made to mock or villainize traditional perspectives, and there is little to no ideological messaging beyond good-natured comedy.
