Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for The Movies That Made Us.
Woke representation / casting
This is a documentary, so there is no fictional casting. The show only interviews the real people who made the movies. Any diversity is factual and shows who actually worked on the films, with no forced modern representation.
0%
Woke political dialogue
The show does not preach modern political ideas. It talks about the social messages inside the old movies, like the abortion plot in Dirty Dancing, but only as part of history.
15%
Production
Identity-driven story themes
The main focus is on how hard it was to make these big movies. The show notes when a movie was important for women or black actors, but it does not push a modern social justice message.

Western institutional / cultural critique
