Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic film focuses on deep character studies and personal struggles, not ideological agendas. Identity traits serve narrative realism, not modern signaling. The story is about Blanche and Stanley's raw, flawed humanity, not their demographic boxes. Pure grit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, gender roles, and morality remain central, even as their darker aspects are explored. Masculinity is complex but not caricatured. There's no modern revisionism twisting history to fit a new agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The portrayal of worldviews is gritty and complex, with both good and bad among all characters. Traditional perspectives exist alongside trauma and dysfunction, without a heavy-handed push for any ideological agenda.
