What We Think

The Deep (1977) is about as non-woke as adventure thrillers get. Rooted firmly in its era, it focuses on suspense and entertainment, blissfully unaware of today’s ideological trends. A refreshingly straightforward watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Deep (1977) sticks to classic adventure thriller tropes, focusing on the story and character dynamics rather than modern identity politics. Characters are portrayed according to genre conventions, and there is no apparent identity-driven casting or emphasis on ideology over narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents traditional gender roles, family, and heroism without subversion or revisionism. Masculinity and romantic attraction are depicted archetypically. There's little sign of modern cultural critique, making it a time capsule of pre-woke Hollywood sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no ideological monoculture. The film avoids lecturing its audience or caricaturing alternative viewpoints. Characters have personal motives related to greed, danger, and adventure, not politics or cultural messaging.
