What We Think

Blue Jasmine is about as non-woke as it gets in the modern era. The story prioritizes flawed humanity and personal tragedy, not identity politics. Its minimal ideological messaging makes it a refreshingly straightforward character drama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blue Jasmine tells a classic character-driven story centered on Jasmine's personal decline and psychological struggle, with little focus on ideology or identity politics. The film’s casting and character arcs prioritize realism over forced representation or political messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film highlights the collapse of Jasmine's privileged life, family, and status, it doesn’t overtly undermine traditional family values, masculinity, or religion. The drama is grounded in flawed, believable human behavior rather than ideological critique of social norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, with contrasting characters (Jasmine and her working-class sister). The film refrains from mocking or villainizing any group solely for traditional values, offering a fairly pluralistic portrayal of personal downfall and perspective.
