What We Think

For a 1980s film, The Hotel New Hampshire is more quirky than 'woke.' Any subversion of tradition is played for oddball humor, not ideological points. Modern woke criteria hardly apply here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Hotel New Hampshire largely focuses on eccentric storytelling and character-driven drama, not identity politics. It doesn't appear to sacrifice narrative or character realism just to chase buzzwords or modern 'diversity' checklists. Its characters are quirky but grounded in the context of the plot, rather than progressive boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does challenge some traditional values, especially in its depictions of sexuality and family, but it does so as an exploration of oddity, not as a heavy-handed cultural revision. There’s an irreverent edge, but it doesn’t labor to demonize tradition or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This movie runs more on absurdist satire than modern ideological templates. There are no overt efforts to villainize traditional perspectives or foist a singular worldview on the audience; if anything, it revels in pluralism and the messiness of life.
