What We Think

Fight Club is almost an anti-woke film, critiquing consumer culture and exploring masculinity without clinging to modern ideological trends. It tells a thorny, provocative story, the polar opposite of Hollywood’s current love affair with woke narratives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Fight Club centers on well-developed, flawed male characters whose arcs are defined by existential challenges, not identity politics. The film's narrative is unencumbered by shoehorned diversity or forced representation. Instead, it leans into personality and the psychological complexity of its protagonist, maintaining story integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film offers a provocative critique of modern consumerism and explores masculinity in crisis, but doesn't undermine family, religion, or traditional morality for the sake of modern trends. There’s some subversive edge, but it’s not aligned with contemporary woke agendas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Fight Club is controversial because it genuinely questions societal norms and allows for conflicting viewpoints. It doesn’t villainize traditionalism; if anything, it interrogates modern emptiness, leaving room for alternative perspectives, even if some are presented darkly.
