What We Think

One Week is as non-woke as they come, a pure, unpoliticized comedy gem from the silent era. A refreshing throwback where the only agenda is making you laugh.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"One Week" is a classic Buster Keaton silent comedy focused on slapstick gags and inventiveness, not on any notion of identity politics. The story is driven by character humor and physical skill, with no forced representation or identity-first characterization to be found.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like marriage, family, and the classic comedic battle of the sexes are at the core, presented with playfulness, not subversion. There’s no attempt at rewriting culture or mocking foundational norms, just two newlyweds struggling with hilarious house construction.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s nothing even remotely resembling modern ideological conformity or villainization of alternative viewpoints. If anything, "One Week" delights in universal human foibles that anyone can relate to, regardless of background or belief.
