What We Think

“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is whimsical and irreverent, but hardly woke by modern standards. At worst, its satire is universal rather than ideological, so non-woke audiences won’t find much to complain about.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film mostly sticks to the absurdist and satirical tone of the original novel, focusing on quirky characters and cosmic randomness rather than modern identity politics. Casting choices serve the narrative, with little evidence of forced representation or heavy-handed ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, religion, and masculinity are not central, but they aren’t aggressively undermined either. Satire targets bureaucracy and the meaninglessness of life rather than core cultural institutions. It’s irreverent, but not what one would call culturally subversive by today's standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie retains a wide variety of oddball characters and perspectives, mainly poking fun at everyone equally. There’s little sign of ideological uniformity or the mocking of traditional worldviews; everyone’s a target and everyone’s a fool at times.
