What We Think

While 'Cats' is a cinematic catastrophe in many ways, it steers clear of pushing a woke agenda. All its disasters are artistic, not ideological. The movie's weirdness is mercifully non-political.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Cats' is a mess narratively, but not due to forced ideology. The baffling story choices and bizarre visuals stem more from strange adaptation choices than any modern political agenda. Characters are odd, but their quirks aren't driven by identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no real subversion of tradition, masculinity, religion, or family; the film is too lost in its own surreal cat world to care. The source material is eccentric, but it's not trying to undermine cultural foundations or push contemporary social messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No clear ideological monoculture here. The cats are just cats (strangely). There are no overt lectures, no villainization of traditional worldviews, and no intense modern social commentary. The confusion is purely feline.
