What We Think

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane is a time capsule of non-woke entertainment. Its irreverence, humor, and lack of focus on identity-driven narratives place it squarely in the non-woke camp, even if it’s more crass than culturally thoughtful.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is pure 1990s irreverence: narrative is driven by raunchy humor and an over-the-top main character, not by any attempt to shoehorn in modern ideology or forced identity narratives. Representation is incidental to the outrageous plot, not the focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender dynamics abound, sometimes even to a fault by today’s standards, and the film leans hard into stereotypical portrayals of masculinity. Family, religion, or traditional values aren’t really mocked, they simply aren’t the focus.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't sermonized, but the humor clearly draws from several non-PC directions. There's no hint of modern ideological uniformity; if anything, it’s relentlessly anti-woke by contemporary standards.
