What We Think

'Bullets Over Broadway' is about as non-woke as you can get in 1990s Hollywood. It prioritizes character and story, makes fun of everyone, and steers clear of identity preaching. A refreshing throwback to when movies just tried to be clever, not political.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Bullets Over Broadway' focuses firmly on story and character over identity politics. Casting and characterization serve the plot without obvious emphasis on diversity-for-diversity’s-sake, and there's no forced representation overshadowing the narrative. The film’s characters are depicted with flaws and real development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film has some fun mocking artistic pretensions, but doesn’t broadly undermine traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity. It's more a period piece that lampoons theater culture than a statement on society’s moral bedrock. Masculinity isn’t pathologized; traditional roles and quirks are portrayed as part of the comedy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Characters in the film reflect a quirky range of worldviews. Dissenting opinions and traditional stances are present, but not villainized or caricatured; if anything, everyone gets mocked equally. There’s no sign of a modern ideological monoculture—just the madness of showbiz.
