Assassination of a High School President2008

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Assassination of a High School President keeps its focus on teen noir fun rather than pandering to modern ideological trends. Hardly a whiff of woke, unless you count the usual coming-of-age mischief.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film prioritizes storytelling and character-driven satire over any obvious ideological messaging. Casting choices and character arcs revolve around high school archetypes and noir tropes rather than diversity boxes. No sense that identity, gender, or race overload the narrative at the expense of talent or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s some irreverence toward school authority and traditional structures, but it feels rooted in classic teen movie subversion rather than any attempt to undermine deeper cultural pillars like family, religion, or traditional masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film satirizes various cliques and types without painting one worldview as uniformly correct. Stereotypes are mocked, but no real agenda is pushed, and traditional perspectives are present without demonization. The movie feels pluralistic rather than doctrinaire.
