Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Seven Chances features traditional character-driven storytelling with no visible emphasis on identity politics. The plot hinges on a straightforward comedic premise, focusing on Buster Keaton's earnest pursuit of marriage for an inheritance, not any forced representation or messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film embraces classic gender roles and portrays family, marriage, and romantic pursuit in a traditional light. Masculinity and femininity are depicted conventionally. There’s no attempt to undermine or revise cultural values, but since it reflects its era, there's minimal exploration beyond established norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t present, but that’s largely due to the time period’s narrow focus, not any overt ideological pressure. There is no visible mocking of traditional perspectives or forced moralizing, making it feel refreshingly ideology-free by modern standards.
