Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Brainstorm (1983) places its emphasis on science fiction concepts and human relationships rather than political or social ideology. Characters are developed primarily around their roles, motivations, and skills, not identity traits. There's no sign of forced casting or sidelining story for messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats family, marriage, and personal responsibility with a fair amount of respect. There’s no noticeable subversion of traditional roles, and cultural or religious topics are treated neutrally or simply not addressed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't mocked or set up as obvious villains. The story remains focused on the intrigue and potential dangers of technology, not on social justice or cultural critique. There's pluralism among the characters and no heavy ideological angle.
