What We Think

A pure product of its era, The Last Laugh is as non-woke as it gets. If anything, it serves as a reminder of how far Hollywood has drifted since the days of honest, human stories without the overlay of ideological checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Last Laugh focuses deeply on human dignity, pride, and the effects of social status, all delivered through classic storytelling and character-driven narrative. There’s no forced representation or focus on modern identity politics, just the universal struggles of its protagonist.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film neither mocks nor revises traditional values, family, nor classic masculinity. It’s sympathetic to its main character’s journey without pushing against cultural or religious cornerstones. No sign of subverted gender roles or inserted contemporary ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s nothing here that resembles the modern ideological monoculture. The film presents its world and characters sincerely, without villainizing traditional viewpoints or demanding conformity to current ideological trends.
