Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Wild Bill" (1995) largely stays focused on its central character and Western themes, putting narrative over social messaging. Characters’ race, gender, or sexuality are not central to their depiction or development, and the casting choices appear consistent with the historical period.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film respects classic Western tropes, rugged masculinity, frontier justice, moral complexity, and portrays religion and family without mocking or undermining them. There is little evidence of subversion of traditional gender roles or radical cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents a gritty, morally ambiguous West. While traditional values take center stage, there is room for complexity, and alternative perspectives aren't unduly villainized or caricatured. There’s no forced ideological consensus among characters.
