What We Think

If “Class” tried to be any less woke, it would have to turn in its ‘80s membership card. It’s classic coming-of-age comedy with zero agenda and all the politically incorrect charm of its time.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Class” (1983) is thoroughly a product of its era and leans into classical comedic and teen drama tropes. Character identities are rooted in personality, not checkboxes, and casting follows traditional conventions. There is no evidence of narrative being sacrificed for forced representation or ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film plays with themes of family, sexuality, and masculinity, but never in a way that undermines traditional values or ridicules them. Family and gender roles are explored through farce, not as targets for revisionism. No woke redefining of historical or cultural institutions to be found here!

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

“Class” displays the normal mishmash of perspectives found in 1980s comedies. There’s no heavy-handed preaching or smugly villainizing anyone with a traditional worldview. The humor aims for relatability, not doctrinaire messaging. Dissent is played for laughs, not moralizing. Pluralistic enough for an ‘80s flick.
