Three Unwoke Movies To Watch

The woke culture floods everything, especially series and movies. Netflix or Disney wokeism has practically become a meme, and it’s hard to find a premiere that doesn’t contain each and every one of the clichés favored by the most radical left.

However, recent years has brought us some exceptions in the form of movies and series with almost no woke content, even some with messages clearly critical of wokeism.

1. Top Gun: Maverick
   "Top Gun: Maverick" is the flagship of unwoke cinema. Not that the film is a frontal opposition to this ideology, but the mere fact that Tom Cruise decided to explicitly dispense with all the politically correct paraphernalia, makes it a reference against wokeism.
   Moreover, its colossal box office success is a real slap in the face to woke aspirations, as "Top Gun: Maverick" is the perfect counterexample to the "Go Woke, Go Broke" motto.
   Add to its patriotism and having a strong, non-deconstructed male protagonist the fact that the producers did not bow to the Chinese Communist Party’s demands to remove the Taiwanese flag from Maverick’s jacket, and you have arguably one of the most based films of the year.
2. The Northman
   In the midst of Hollywood’s crusade against masculinity, "The Northman" stands out for its excess of testosterone and virility.
   Despite his short filmography, Robert Eggers is one of today’s most interesting directors, standing out for his risky but excellent mise-en-scènes, as well as for not holding back when it comes to dealing with subjects that today’s offended professionals consider problematic.
   In "The Northman", issues such as slavery, rape and mass murder are shown in an unabashed way, and for that reason alone it is one of the unwoke films of the year. But undoubtedly, what must have shocked the woke people the most is that a female protagonist is evil.
3. Godzilla Minus One
   Godzilla was unequivocally an enemy of humanity in this tale. He was not a misunderstood monster looking for empathy and understanding. He came, he saw, and he destroyed. And when he was on screen he was in full impressive display.
   It was a change from the hyper CGI style of Hollywood productions of the last decade which for some stupid reason do all this expensive CGI rendering and then turn down the lighting so that all you see is a dull glint and barely discernible shadows.
   Director Takashi Yahazaki put his monster on full display and added that sub sonic sound effects that shake the room while being barely audible. There was lots of this, and I don’t mind admitting, it brought a smile to my face as my boys were literally bouncing in their seats watching it.
   This film is set in a Japan reeling from the humiliation of defeat and destruction of WWII.
   All throughout the film the audience will get a recurring theme of respect for traditions that hold society together and a discernment that this same homage to tradition can become corrupting.
