What We Think

Ocean’s Eleven (1960) is about as non-woke as it gets by today’s standards. It relies on classic storytelling, traditional values, and doesn’t pander to modern identity politics. Expect old-school charm, not cultural revisionism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on plot and character dynamics over identity politics. Casting and characterization are rooted in the time period, with barely any hint of forced representation. Character flaws and growth are central, not overshadowed by ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, values like loyalty, and camaraderie are front and center. Masculinity and the bonds of friendship are celebrated rather than subverted or mocked. It’s a time capsule of old-school masculine adventure.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting views aren’t really a focus, but that’s because the film is telling a heist story, not lecturing its audience. There’s no visible agenda to villainize traditional perspectives or enforce ideological conformity.
