Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' is a straightforward ghost romance, driven by character and emotion, not modern identity politics. Casting, character arcs, and narrative choices reflect the norms of its era. There’s no shoehorning of representation or overpowered flawless heroes here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds traditional morality, gender roles, and family themes appropriate to 1947. Mrs. Muir is independent for her time but not depicted as superior for rejecting traditional roles, just as a sympathetic character in unique circumstances. There’s no radical revisionism on display.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no modern ideological monoculture; alternative perspectives aren’t mocked because the story isn’t engaged with those issues. The film is about personal connection, loss, and resilience, universally relatable without loaded commentary on social controversies.
