Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Vampire in Brooklyn is mostly focused on genre-blending (comedy and horror) and showcasing Eddie Murphy’s versatility, rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are developed based on story needs rather than as statements about race, gender, or sexuality. Forced representation and ideological casting are not dominant.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t make a point of subverting traditional values or mocking religion, family, or masculinity. If anything, it leans into familiar archetypes and gothic horror tropes. Themes like good versus evil and community have traditional resonance, even within its comedic stylings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film isn’t concerned with imposing or ridiculing worldviews. It doesn’t villainize dissenting voices or promote only one ideological lens. Instead, it’s more about entertaining the audience through humor and supernatural scenarios than preaching modern dogma.
