What We Think

'My Favorite Year' stands strong as an example of non-woke, classic filmmaking. It prioritizes story, wit, and character over modern identity politics. Even its humor ages well, without the heavy-handed virtue signals seen in recent films. A refreshing pick for those weary of Hollywood’s current trends.

What is this?

The film is firmly character-driven, focusing on personal growth, comedy, and mentorship. There's little evidence that identity politics or forced representation drive the story. Roles are cast for their fit in the period and tone. Diversity is minimal but not artificially imposed, which keeps the narrative authentic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'My Favorite Year' celebrates tradition, family, and intergenerational dynamics. Masculinity is explored through both humorous and respectful lenses. There's no noticeable attempt to subvert cultural or historical values, the humor is derived from personality and circumstance, not ideological statements.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is set in the 1950s and doesn't spotlight dissenting modern values, it offers a range of personalities with genuine quirks and flaws. There's no overt villainization of traditional perspectives; instead, it gently pokes fun at everyone, maintaining pluralism and respect.
