What We Think

This gritty 1970s classic is almost entirely free of modern wokeness. Gone in 60 Seconds is about cars, stunts, and adrenaline, not social engineering. It’s a relic of an era before Hollywood started force-feeding viewers endless ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) is a straightforward car-heist film focused on action and stunts, not identity politics. Characters are defined by their roles and skills rather than by modern diversity checkboxes. No hint of 'forced representation' or characters made flawless due to ideology, just gearheads doing their jobs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a love letter to car culture and 1970s Americana, without any pushes to mock masculinity, faith, or family. Gender roles reflect the era, with no attempt to subvert or critique traditional values. It’s refreshingly light on the heavy-handed revisionism we see today.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no ideological preaching here, if anything, the film’s worldview is pure car chase escapism. No group is portrayed as villainous based on tradition, and there’s no push for contemporary moral uniformity or forced dialogue. Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked, they just aren’t part of the film’s DNA.
