What We Think

A product of its era, “Something Wild” is much more interested in chaos and personal freedom than woke signaling. It avoids the hallmarks of modern agenda-driven storytelling and offers breezy, genuine unpredictability.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Something Wild" (1986) centers on story, not agenda. Characters are quirky but rooted in personality and motivation, not forced identity politics. There’s no sense that casting or character arcs were chosen to align with modern ideological trends over genuine storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film plays with traditional masculinity and femininity in an edgy, 80s way, but doesn’t undermine core values. Family, religion, and other cultural pillars aren’t targets. The film focuses more on rebelliousness than ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious ideological monoculture here. The unusual characters reflect a range of worldviews and personal flaws. Dissenting perspectives aren’t demonized; they’re just part of the wild ride.
