“Woke” or accused of being so?

There are plenty of movies out there that have been criticised for being too ”liberal leaning”. “Woke” is a rather recent term.

Django unchained and Black Panther are two relatively recent movies accused of being “woke”. Both were resounding successes.




Neither of those movies are considered Woke, really.


Memories are short. Both were criticised for being woke, especially Black Panther, which I distinctively remember being both lauded and lambasted for the same reason.

I sense though that most people who parrot the "go woke go broke" narrative, focus only on those that have done badly in the box office.
