What We Think

A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy is about as non-woke as a classic romantic farce gets these days. Almost all characters are written for entertainment, not as modern ideological symbols. The film is a product of its era, with gentle ribbing of traditional values, but nothing approaching contemporary wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is primarily focused on witty dialogue, sexual farce, and comedic misunderstandings rather than ideological messaging. Characters are developed for their personalities and quirks, not showcased primarily for identity politics or box-ticking diversity. Narrative integrity is largely preserved, staying true to classic comedic tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at marriage and sexual mores, it does so in a way consistent with classic romantic comedies, not as a vehicle for undermining religion, family, or masculinity. Any subversion feels lighthearted and era-appropriate, not driven by modern ideological agendas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives and the quirks of individual characters are subject to comedy, not caricatured with obvious present-day bias. There's an even-handed playfulness toward both traditional and nontraditional choices with no attempt at ideological uniformity.
