What We Think

Classic 1940s Hollywood fare. This film avoids modern woke trends and instead offers a light-hearted comedy with traditional roles and values. No forced representation, cultural revisionism, or ideological uniformity by today’s standards, just old-school entertainment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on its romantic-comedic narrative without inserting modern identity politics or prioritizing characters’ contemporary labels over their personalities or roles. The casting and character arcs reflect the norms of 1940s Hollywood instead of present-day ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, family structure, and American cultural values are depicted straightforwardly, with no attempt to undermine or satirize these foundations. The film reinforces the era’s prevailing views on romance, masculinity, and femininity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the movie doesn’t offer much ideological pluralism, the absence of present-day social issues or villainization of traditional values keeps it solidly non-woke by current standards. The storyline is classic Hollywood fluff, not modern ideological fare.
