A touching story dripping in woke

While wartime stories are usually heartwarming and inspiring in some way, the way the producers / directors took over this film ruined the message of hope and replaced it with the heavy salt of feminism. What could have been a charming young heroine is an in insufferable know-it-all akin to that awful Rey skank in what-shall-not-be-called-Star-Wars - meaning, she has no story arc, no discovery, no learning, and no flaws.
All other female characters are exactly the same - unsympathetic and unrealistic stoics, backhanding men with every quip of their devil tongues, blank and detestable.
I'm a chick, but feminist films like this irk me to no end.
Every time the brat comes on the screen I wish the worst for her, my sympathies lying instead with the bruised, battered, and broken Nazi boy who has far more complex and elegant an arc than the know-it-all Mary Sue.

What ruins the series further is the constant predictive powers of the magical characters (talking plenty about things that haven't happened yet, like the Holocaust ovens being revealed, or the treatment of prostitutes after the war). The Nazis - save the lead boy, who was forced into the army against his will - all have the same exact boring character too, a cookie-cutter remake of Indiana Jones. They're all so similar I can't tell them apart, exacerbated by inescapable uniform. The inhuman monolith that is The Enemy.

It's funny how socialist directors try so hard to dehumanize a group of people, mostly in an attempt to other them and pretend they are not peddling the same darn thing.

At the moment (though not through the entire story and not sure I'll get there), besides the feminism there is a little forced diversity casting, with the incumbent head professor at a museum in Europe during the 40's being a black guy. Naturally, white people all are all evil, which is kind of realistic seeing as it's Europe, but the highest position in the room being black? Yeah, no. I'm black and I'm not stupid enough to believe that.

There are at the moment no LGBTPedophiles or trannies.
No politics, either, no modern lectures on TDS, racism or privilege.
But this is more than a chick flick - this is a sledgehammer designed to crush men's humanity right off and replace it with a world of Mary Sue -ism.

No woke, just misery

A bunch of old army buddies get together to put on a heist at a South American coke lord’s jungle hangout. Despite it being an Affleck / Karen Bigelow flick, it’s not woke.
No feminazis, no lectures, no lgbtpedo, a dash of diversity casting but not enough to ruin the film, and it has no bearing on the story itself. Woke free.

If Rotten Tomatoes likes it, avoid at all costs.

What should have been a nice war story (is that an oxymoron?) is taken over by a modern SJW feminazi wife spouting “racism” and aggressive feminism everywhere, plenty of forced diversity (in frikkin Munich), and emasculated male characters. So much for a good old shoot-‘em-up war-is-bad flick.
Feminism? Yes. Woke dialogue? Yes. Forced (unrealistic) diversity casting? Yes.
The best way you know to avoid a film, is if Rotten Tomatoes rates it well.

Biased, but not woke

Netflix documentary series about various spy missions throughout recent history. Not exactly woke - no sex, no nudity, no diversity casting, no LGBTPedos, no feminazis… but the tone is decidedly leftist and globalist. Oh, those evil right-wingers, they’ll bark through various tones at an obviously communist target. There is plenty of right-wing ringer pointing and Holy Biden in there. But is it woke? No. It’s worth the watch otherwise, with the occasional eye-roll.
I wish I could just watch a documentary without knowing who the director is voting for.

Why would anyone call this woke?

A bad ass film about a pissy emo guy who develops a split personality that creates a fight club to let out his frustration on society. No LGBTPedo, no feminism, no race-swapping, no politics, no racism, nothing. Seriously, nothing. Not woke at all.
In fact, it's why we get to call libtards "snowflakes."

Not woke, but...

Okay, so there is no race swapping, no racism, no LGBTPedo, no politics. There was a little "plight of the downtrodden vagina" feminism in the story. But so typical of the Japanese documentary, there is never anything wrong with this picture and everyone is an innocent.
The book on which the documentary was made was much more honest.
The fact that the hostesses were all illegals and pseudo-prostitutes, the fact that the killer was a korean guy - which is why the korean-influenced media dodged reporting on it, and all that kind of stuff was never covered.
It feels like "oh that's too bad," when any other documentary in any other country would have dug into the matter much more deeply.

So no, no woke, really. If you ignore that 10-minute "look at me, I have a vagina!!" monologue, really seriously no woke. But it was kind of disappointing. Read the book.

Some uncomfortable themes, but no woke.

A documentary bringing to light the reach of the pedophile network that was the Boy Scouts of America. Generally, as a documentary it wasn’t woke. There were a few strange backwards explanations slipped in there, such as “the men who were slipping his dick into boys and sucking their dicks were all straight men” since males dicking on other males is totally a straight thing, as we all know. /s
In addition, the argument that, “hey, we let little girls in, too, so now there can be no pedophiles!” …is really, really un-convincing. The happy progressivism as portrayed with uplifting music and everything is kind of creepy.

But is it woke? No, it’s not. There’s no forced diversity, no yay commies, no outreach and acceptance of LGBTPedophilic behavior (though a hooray feel when they say they let gays in now). No feminazis, no politics. So if you can shudder at the yay progressivism lines sprinkled in here and there, it’s really not woke at all.

NO woke. Merci!

The story of Henry the 5th, as adapted from Shakespearean plays. No woke, no race-swapping, no LGBTPedo, a little sprinkling of sex as an afterthought but no full-on nudity or porn stuff. No disrespect to religion, no feminazis. A good story about a young man who takes control and responsibility when the role is thrown at him. A bit slow at times, but it’s slow like a slow burn, and well worth the watch.

One woke character

The film is actually better than it looks, with a standard save-the-miners trucker hauling stuff in a big rig across a dangerous ice road.
There is only one woke element, and that’s a pipsqueak teenage girly-girl who also of course happens to be a super-skilled stunt driving tucker who of course yells “racist” any time anyone criticizes her, and of COURSE is a social justice warrior activist. But is it enough to call the film woke? No. She’s just insufferable and you wish she’d die the whole time. But just that.
