Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic screwball comedy focuses on sharp dialogue, character-driven humor, and robust performances. There is no sign of casting or storytelling being driven by modern ideological priorities. The plot is centered firmly on personalities and relationships, not identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds traditional 1930s attitudes toward family, gender, and morality. Masculinity, religion, and American cultural norms are depicted as ordinary and unchallenged, so there's virtually no subversion by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present only as comedic foils, not demonized. The film does not mock traditional values but plays with egos and personal ambition. There's no sign of enforced modern ideological conformity.
