The Verdict
A straightforward (and notoriously poorly received) remake of a 1974 Italian romance. It contains no identity swaps, LGBTQ+ messaging, or progressive sermonizing — its class-reversal romance is inherited directly from the source. Essentially clean on every WokeMeter axis.
What the AI Flagged
Each axis scored 0–100, with the receipts. The headline score weights the worst offense, so a single egregious element isn't diluted by the rest.
Identity Swaps
0A remake of the 1974 Italian film but with no race or gender swaps of established characters.
Girlboss & Male Demotion
10The wealthy female lead is spoiled and unsympathetic, not a flawless girlboss; the deckhand actually dominates the dynamic on the island.
- The deckhand becomes the authority figure once stranded
LGBTQ+ / Trans / Non-Binary Content
0No LGBTQ+ content present; the story is a heterosexual romance.
DEI Casting
5Conventional casting with nothing that overrides setting or lore.
Preachiness
15Any class commentary about rich versus working-class is part of the original premise, not modern activist messaging.
- Class-reversal premise where the rich woman serves the deckhand
Anti-Masculinity / Anti-West
10If anything the film leans into traditional gender dynamics rather than critiquing masculinity.
Source Betrayal
10A faithful, if widely panned, remake of Lina Wertmüller's 1974 film with no identity-driven changes.
