What We Think

This is about as non-woke as a movie gets. 'The Wing or the Thigh?' sticks to classic comedy, satire, and timeless themes with no effort to shoehorn in modern identity politics or ideological messaging. Refreshingly apolitical and focused on fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on slapstick comedy and satire about the food industry, not identity politics. Characters are defined by their quirks, not by race, gender, or modern ideology. There is no evidence of forced representation or narrative bending to fit any woke checklist. A near-perfect score for sticking to story and humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional French values, family, and work ethic are front and center, with no modern critique of masculinity, religion, or morality. The protagonist is a competent male figure, upholding generational business. There’s no subversion of gender roles or revisionist nods to current ideologies. Pure, old-school entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no trace of ideological groupthink. The satire is about gourmet culture versus mass production, not identity or politics. No villainization of traditional roles, just playful jabs at the culinary industry. All worldviews present are linked to the film’s era and subject, not modern ideology.
