What We Think

Pretty Woman is about as non-woke as mainstream Hollywood gets. It’s refreshingly lacking in modern identity politics or lecturing, prioritizing character-driven romance and classic storytelling over ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pretty Woman largely focuses on characters, personal chemistry, and a Cinderella-style romance. Identity traits are not emphasized over personality or story. The film values traditional storytelling over any modern ideological messaging, it's all about personal journeys and romantic transformation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though the film presents an unconventional romantic pairing, traditional values around romance, personal growth, and even the classic damsel-in-distress dynamic are front and center. Masculinity and femininity are embraced, not subverted, and family remains respected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, with characters representing different moral outlooks and choices. There is no overwhelming push for modern ideological conformity, and traditional perspectives get a fair shake without heavy-handed mockery.
