Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies puts character quirks and story first, using its lead as a comedic, retro parody without shoehorning identity themes. Diversity casting is absent and character merit mostly aligns with their roles in this Bond spoof. It’s more concerned with lampooning spy tropes than ticking ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at nationalism, religion, and gender roles, but mostly for comedic, satirical effect. It doesn’t actively undermine traditional values, if anything, it ridicules both the old-school and modern attitudes through over-the-top parody.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no clear modern ideological groupthink here. Instead, traditional and non-traditional perspectives are both parodied, and the film’s humor targets everyone. Viewers might even see it as a playful jab at modern sensibilities.
