What We Think

The Wizard of Oz screenplay is about as non-woke as you can get. It’s a refreshing product of its time, focused on timeless themes without a whiff of identity politics or modern ideological baggage. This one’s flying safely over the rainbow, free from today’s cultural storms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Wizard of Oz screenplay (based closely on Baum's classic) is rooted in traditional storytelling. Characters are driven by personality and motivation, not by identity politics. There is no forced representation or prioritization of diversity for its own sake. The film revolves around universal themes of courage, home, and friendship, not modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, courage, and personal responsibility are all portrayed as virtues. Masculinity and femininity are depicted in classic, uncontroversial ways. Religious or longstanding cultural values aren’t subverted or mocked, if anything, traditional morality and resolve are championed throughout the story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is a genuine lack of modern ideological messaging. Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized, and the story isn’t weighed down by any one modern worldview. Characters are diverse in terms of personality and desires, not politics or ideology.
