Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Henry VIII (2003) largely maintains a historically grounded narrative. Characters are cast to reflect the people of the period, and there is little evidence of forced diversity or shoehorned-in identity politics. The plot revolves around actual events and personal ambitions, not modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation remains rooted in its historical context, neither overtly undermining masculinity nor family roles. Traditional religious and moral questions are treated with a degree of seriousness fitting the Tudor era, rather than being modernized or subverted for contemporary audiences.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are not shallowly villainized or caricatured; instead, the story allows for complex motivations and conflicting interests that reflect the turbulent politics of the time.
