Forces of Nature1999

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Forces of Nature is about as non-woke as a late-'90s romantic comedy gets. Its characters aren’t defined by modern identity politics, there’s no ideological hammering, and the core is classic rom-com chaos. In today’s landscape, this is practically vintage comfort food.

Score Breakdown

The film is a standard romantic comedy with its focus on individual personalities, quirks, and chemistry between its leads. Emphasis is placed more on traditional romantic entanglements than checking any modern identity boxes or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like marriage, faithfulness, and personal responsibility are present. Gender roles play out in familiar ways for the genre, with no apparent agenda to subvert traditions or launch into cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn't much in the way of overt political or ideological messaging. While it does take a slightly lighter approach to commitment, there’s no demonization of traditional values or any obvious ideological agenda.
