What We Think

Shaun of the Dead is refreshingly non-woke. It focuses on good storytelling and satire, not identity checklists. Traditional values are present and respected, leaving it virtually untouched by modern ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Shaun of the Dead prioritizes character-driven storytelling, not identity politics. Characters are fleshed out based on personality and competence rather than shoehorned diversity metrics. No evidence of token representation or characters being flawless for 'the message.'

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats family, friendship, and responsibility with sincerity, and doesn’t mock traditional values or masculinity. While irreverent in tone, it doesn't push any agenda undermining cultural roots, sticking to classic British comedy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no pointed attacks on traditional worldviews or obvious pushing of a single modern ideology. The humor is inclusive, and characters come from varying backgrounds and perspectives, challenging each other throughout.
