Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Zelig is primarily a satirical mockumentary exploring issues of identity through the unusual protagonist. The character-driven plot doesn't appear to sacrifice narrative depth for contemporary ideological messaging. There is little emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over story or character merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at cultural conformity and social trends but doesn't aggressively undermine traditional religious or family values. Masculinity, religion, or morality aren't mocked; rather, it satirizes psychology and the impulse to blend in with the crowd, fairly neutral, all things considered.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While 'Zelig' lampoons certain social phenomena, it doesn't villainize traditional perspectives or present ideological uniformity. The satire is broader, critiquing human nature more than pushing specific modern moral dogma. No obvious caricature of dissenters is present.
