What's Up, Tiger Lily?1966

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'What's Up, Tiger Lily?' is about as far from woke as it gets, a madcap spoof without a shred of modern identity politicking. No activist agenda here, just 1960s zaniness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 1966 Woody Allen comedy is a bizarre redub of a Japanese spy film, built on slapstick and absurdity rather than identity politics. Character traits are not inserted to check boxes; if anything, the joke is the disregard for narrative coherence. Nothing 'woke' in sight here from a casting or story perspective.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and institutions are mostly played for laughs or ignored, not purposefully subverted. There’s nothing resembling modern activist messaging or depiction of religion and family as evil. It’s more goofy irreverence, sometimes in questionable taste, but hardly a modern ideological statement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real ideological message, just absurd humor, parody, and chaotic storytelling. Diverse worldviews aren’t debated; instead, the film lampoons everything indiscriminately. It’s too outlandish and unserious to even have a 'monoculture' by today’s standards.
