What We Think

For its time, "Bonnie and Clyde" was edgy, but by modern standards it’s largely non-woke. The film prioritizes story and characters over contemporary identity-focused themes and avoids modern ideological soapboxing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Bonnie and Clyde" keeps its focus on storytelling and character dynamics rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are written and cast based on their fit within the context of the 1930s crime world, not through a diversity checklist. The film remains grounded in its setting and era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie glamorizes outlaw behavior and challenges some conventional morality, it does not overtly undermine family, faith, or traditional gender roles. Masculinity and femininity are depicted through flawed, multi-dimensional historical figures. It’s more rebellious than ‘woke.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed ideological messaging. The film is more concerned with individualism and anti-establishment spirit of the 1960s rather than enforcing today’s moral consensus. Multiple worldviews are shown, and traditional perspectives aren’t simply mocked or villainized.
