Is this woke?
Sounds good but won't see it if it woke
shareFuck off then.
shareNot really. It was ok, but didn’t like ending
shareIt has females in it, so it’s super woke!!!!
shareIt's woke in the sense that all the men in it are, of course, evil or moronic, or gay. It heavily implies that men's beauty standards are the reason older famous women suffer when they reach a certain age, despite the fact that audiences are made of up of both men and women and women tend to judge other women much more harshly than men do.
Demi Moore is incredibly attractive in this despite her age and the film's attempts to make her seem undesirable; the woman is super fit and sexy and, plastic surgery aside, still has a pretty face, yet we're made to believe that all the men in this universe think she's an old hag. There are no other female characters beyond the two leads, it's just Moore and Qualey vs. Quaid and every other male, and they're all slimy one dimensional pricks, or super flamboyantly gay.
Though I wouldn't say this has the trappings of a "typical" woke bullshit story (no shoehorned minorities or gay/tranny stuff or any other of that shit thank merciful God), it lays the blame for all the lead character's ills on men, which is pretty god damn woke to me, or feminist at least. Either way, utter bullshit, of course.
Hmm. I’m gonna say, on balance, ‘no’. It strafes near some woke aspects but its driving force isn’t woke.
It’s all about female beauty standards and the real monster is the female need to be a beautiful star. Hollywood female celebs are sad and grotesque creatures who hate themselves, and we watch one completely implode.
It dips into woke with the portrayal of men, who are either assholes or goofballs, but it doesn’t lay the blame for beauty-pressure squarely on men (in reality of course it’s other women and gay men who set the insane standards, most men just want a reasonably pretty gal who takes care of herself)
It’s a savage feminist horror satire that seems to despise women as much, if not more, than men. I’d say it’s worth watching.
