What We Think

‘X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes’ is a relic from a pre-woke Hollywood, telling its story without ideological detours. If you’re exhausted by modern lectures, this B-movie offers pure, non-woke sci-fi weirdness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 1963 sci-fi classic sticks to its narrative guns. Identity politics, forced representation, or improbable competency arcs are nowhere to be found, characters are sketched as products of their era, with their professions, not identities, taking center stage.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film delights in Mad Science and questions the boundaries of human pursuit, it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine faith, family, or gender norms. Traditional roles stay largely intact, with only the typical B-movie irreverence toward authority.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

‘X’ avoids heavy-handed messaging or caricaturing dissenters. There’s a touch of 1960s skepticism about unchecked progress, but both ambition and caution are portrayed with shades of nuance.
