Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blade Runner (1982) maintains strong narrative integrity, with characters and plot driven by existential questions rather than identity checklists. Casting choices reflect the genre's noir roots, rather than modern social agendas. None of the main characters are shoehorned in for representation points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores humanity, morality, and mortality without lecturing or undermining traditional cultural touchstones. Family, religion, and masculinity are portrayed as complicated but not villainized. Deckard’s tough demeanor is true to classic archetypes, with no overt ideological subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s room for multiple worldviews, transhumanism, corporate dystopia, and individual morality, all debated intelligently. The plot doesn’t demonize traditional perspectives or exclude diverse philosophies. No forced ideological echo chamber here, just good old-fashioned ambiguity.
