What We Think

Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard is about as non-woke as it gets. A throwback to simpler storytelling, it doesn’t pander, virtue signal, or rewrite tradition. It’s pure pulpy escapism, a rare relic in today’s landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard is a classic European caper from the late 1960s, focusing on adventure, intrigue, and humor. Identity politics and modern ideological baggage are essentially absent. Characters are presented with skill and personality, not as flagbearers for any message. Nothing feels forced or box-ticked.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, straightforward good-versus-evil morality, and conventional masculinity are portrayed without irony or subversion. The film doesn’t poke fun at its own cultural roots or present longstanding traditions in a negative light. If anything, it’s almost quaint by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little visible agenda, just classic genre fun. Villains and heroes are written as worthy foils, not as commentaries on society. Dissenting or traditional perspectives aren’t caricatured or mocked; everyone fits their straightforward roles. The film feels refreshingly pluralistic compared to today’s standards.
