What We Think

If you're seeking a non-woke, classic film immersion, Gigi delivers. It’s a vintage Parisian romance, blissfully untouched by modern Hollywood’s ideological tics. Its only offense is being a product of its time, which, for many, is exactly the point.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gigi is a classic example of old Hollywood storytelling, focusing on character development, wit, and romance with little emphasis on ideological messaging. Casting and character roles reflect their place within the narrative and the period, with no traces of forced modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film strongly affirms traditional themes surrounding family, romantic relationships, and period-specific gender roles. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed according to historical context without any attempt at subversion or critique of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While alternative viewpoints aren't a focus, the film simply reflects the mores of its setting and era, without caricaturing or vilifying dissent. There’s no overt ideological uniformity agenda at play, just one worldview because of the period.
