What We Think

This is as non-woke as modern film documentaries get, focusing on craft, history, and artistic influence, not ideology or identity politics. A refreshing blast from the past.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This documentary is almost entirely about film history and Scorsese’s personal journey as a filmmaker, not about current-year identity trends. It’s a straightforward, traditional exploration of movies, with a focus on artistic vision and craft, not demographic checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable attempt to undermine cultural or traditional foundations. The documentary is an affectionate look back at classic American cinema, with respect for tradition, storytelling, and past masters. There’s none of the usual agenda-pushing seen in more recent productions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is firmly rooted in discussions of cinematic technique and history, not ideology. There’s no overt “right” or “wrong” political message, nor is there any caricaturization of dissent. It’s simply a celebration of filmmaking from a director’s perspective.
