L’Arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat (1896) is the first woke film ever made. The Lumière brothers couldn’t do this asleep because the train would get them. Also, there was at least a black guy somewhere while being filmed.

In The Day After Tomorrow, Gyllenhaal’s character says they have to get to higher ground. But instead of taking shelter inside one of the many skyscrapers that dot Manhattan, he goes to the public library. This is because he used his Donnie Darko powers to see they’d need to burn books to stay warm.
