The Siege at Ruby Ridge1996

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Siege at Ruby Ridge is a time capsule from the pre-woke era: it lets the events and characters speak for themselves without the ideological overtones or forced representation common in recent media. Traditional values and competing viewpoints receive relatively fair treatment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film remains largely focused on the real events and sticks to authentic character motivations. Identity politics and modern ideological casting are virtually absent. Narrative is guided by the facts of the case rather than attempts at forced representation common in current-era media.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats religion, family, and masculinity as genuine, though sometimes flawed, parts of the story rather than as inherent sources of villainy or ridicule. There is little attempt to subvert or modernize traditional values for the sake of ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show frames the authorities controversially, it avoids boiling down the issues to simple caricatures or demonizing traditional perspectives. Multiple viewpoints are represented, and viewers are allowed to make up their minds.
