Interesting article. Never seen Yellowstone so I'll trust your take on it.
I like Gran Torino. It has a mix of liberal and conservative themes, but it's not woke. Asian immigrants and crotchety whites are both portrayed as having something positive to offer society.
If Gran Torino was woke, the gang bangers would be neo Nazi white supremacists, not Asians. Eastwood's "racist" character would not be portrayed sympathetically.
Yes Eastwood gives his car to Tao. He also gives the rest of his property to the Catholic Church. A woke movie would have had Eastwood bequeath his inheritance to the SPLC or Greenpeace.
The odd semi-reverence for the Amerindians mentioned briefly in this article would make for a good subject for an IQ supplement. Outside of the context of modern liberalism and the complicated relationship between the English and the Māori in New Zealand only the American settlers were really like this.
Yellowstone is also very strongly advertised to the “multiracial working class” I’ve noticed. The heroes are Dutton’s tatted up misfit lackeys who probably work for low wage and live in quarters on the ranch. Far from the archetypal bounty hunter, ranger, marshal, or sheriff of old westerns. They’re also multicultural. Pink haired girl, black, Mexican have passed through that cast. In rural Montana. I think one of them dates a stripper. Speaking of dating, the show is very promotive of hagmaxxing.
