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

Young Frankenstein is a perfect example of entertainment from an era before Hollywood discovered wokeness. No forced representation, no ideological posturing, just laughs, clever references, and a bit of innuendo. A refreshing break from modern trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Young Frankenstein delivers a story focused on character quirks, comedic timing, and homage to classic horror. There's no sense that identity politics or modern representation concerns muddy the narrative; casting and character arcs are consistent with the tone and source material.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at classic tropes but never attacks the foundations of family, faith, or masculinity. If anything, it parodies genre conventions without anything resembling modern subversion or didacticism. It's classic satire, not ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt ideological preaching or exclusion of alternative worldviews. The humor and themes are inclusive in the classic, broad sense and do not attempt to villainize tradition or push a singular moral lesson.
