What We Think

Silent Movie is refreshingly non-woke, a reminder of a more carefree era in Hollywood, where comedy reigned over messaging and audiences could just enjoy the show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Silent Movie is a classic Mel Brooks comedy that focuses on physical humor and satire. There is no apparent agenda prioritizing identity over plot or character. Casting choices and character traits serve the narrative’s comedic spirit and don’t emphasize forced diversity or ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film playfully pokes fun at Hollywood but doesn't attack traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity. Its gags are generally apolitical and in good fun, a relic of when entertainment was just that: entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no ideological messaging. Alternative viewpoints aren’t demonized; if anything, the film’s only ‘side’ is a tongue-in-cheek jab at the movie industry itself.
