Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a classic early-'60s romantic comedy focused on charm, chemistry, and wit rather than identity politics. Characters are defined by their personalities and motivations, not by race, gender, or sexuality, which are barely referenced. There's no sign of forced representation by modern standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, marriage, and family are depicted without irony or subversion. Masculinity and femininity are embraced according to the era's norms. Religion and tradition are not mocked or questioned; if anything, they're taken for granted as social bedrocks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or non-traditional lifestyles are almost invisible. The film assumes a mainstream moral consensus and doesn't mock that worldview, but there's minimal debate or pluralism, it's a snapshot of America's social status quo of the time.
