The Story of Film: An Odyssey2011

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 Story of Film: An Odyssey stays refreshingly focused on film history and artistic evolution with almost no forced ideological slant, quite a rarity in today's landscape. Only minor nods to modern perspectives appear, making this a largely non-woke, educational experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series sticks closely to film history and discusses storytelling and technique without pushing identity politics or forcing modern diversity narratives. It’s about cinema itself, so character casting and ideological messaging aren’t really factors. No real evidence of narrative integrity being sacrificed for ideology here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural pillars like religion, family, and masculinity are discussed only as they relate to historical film movements. There is little to no undermining of traditional values or overt cultural revisionism. The focus is education and analysis, not activism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show largely analyzes film from a traditional academic standpoint, it does occasionally reflect modern academic trends (such as global cinema appreciation) that some might see as slightly leaning towards current ideological norms, but there's no aggressive monoculture or villainization of traditional views.
