Idiocracy2006

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

Idiocracy is more an irreverent satire poking at society's collective intelligence than a woke manifesto. While not particularly reverent toward tradition, it avoids most contemporary woke tropes, focusing instead on broad cultural absurdity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Idiocracy largely avoids shoehorning in identity politics. Its narrative, while satirical, places more emphasis on absurdity and social commentary than on modern themes of forced representation or identity over merit. Characters are exaggerated for comedic effect, but not to tick intersectional boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film mocks societal decline, including aspects of family, intellect, and tradition, but does so in a broadly satirical way rather than singling out masculinity, religion, or traditional morality as particular targets. It pokes fun rather than outright condemning values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Idiocracy lampoons modern culture and anti-intellectualism but doesn't explicitly peddle a progressive agenda or villainize traditional perspectives. However, it lacks sincere exploration of alternative worldviews, instead using caricature to make its point.
