Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1963 'The Pink Panther' prioritizes wit, slapstick, and clever character interplay over identity politics. Cast choices and character arcs hinge on personality, comedic timing, and storytelling with no apparent forced representation or hyper-competence based on identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and family dynamics are presented in the expected fashion for the early 1960s. Masculinity is mostly played for laughs via Inspector Clouseau’s bumbling, but without subversion; heterosexual romance and traditional norms are dominant.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little in the way of overt ideological messaging. The humor pokes fun at human foibles, not at religion, tradition, or alternative worldviews. No particular perspective is demonized or elevated as the only moral choice.
