What We Think

BPM (Beats per Minute) is a thoroughly woke film, focusing on activism and identity politics with minimal room for alternative perspectives or traditional cultural values. The film is unapologetically political, wears its ideology on its sleeve, and delivers a narrative shaped almost entirely by its woke priorities.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film centers almost exclusively on the struggles and activism of ACT UP in early-90s Paris, with identity, sexuality, and AIDS activism at the heart of nearly every narrative thread. Personal and political identity often overshadow deeper character exploration and broader perspectives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional social structures, such as religion, family, or conventional masculinity, are typically portrayed as barriers or adversaries to progress. Authority figures and mainstream institutions are depicted as complicit or indifferent, and the story reinterprets moral foundations through a modern activist lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, such as those questioning the tactics or worldview of the activist group, are almost entirely absent or one-dimensional. The main cast is ideologically homogenous, and dissenting voices are given little narrative weight or sympathy.
