What We Think

'A Thousand Words' is about as non-woke as it gets in the 2010s, a by-the-numbers personal journey with heart, slapstick, and zero virtue signaling. Safe for those tired of Hollywood's checkbox casting and agenda-driven scripts.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s story focuses on personal growth and relationships without forcing identity-driven narratives. Characters are developed around their roles and flaws rather than shoehorned diversity. No actions or storyline beats are sacrificed for trendy ideology, just classic Eddie Murphy slapstick with a lesson.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, personal responsibility, and redemption are central. Masculinity isn’t mocked, and there’s no agenda-driven revisionism of cultural staples. The spiritual themes, while Hollywood-ized, aren’t used to denigrate religion or classic morality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push a singular ideological message. No heavy-handed lectures or ridicule of dissenting views. It sticks to its comedic, character-driven plot without dipping into woke territory or villainizing traditional perspectives.
