Question 1

Is Swiss Army Man woke?

Accepted Answer

Swiss Army Man has a woke score of 8/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Swiss Army Man is a 2016 surreal comedy-drama in which a suicidal man stranded on a deserted island befriends a flatulent, talking corpse and uses it as a multi-tool companion on an absurd trek back to civilization and his crush. The story centers on male friendship, emotional repression, and learning to embrace personal quirks and vulnerabilities through an increasingly human connection with the corpse. No identity-driven themes, activist dialogue, forced representation, or modern political messaging appear in the narrative, marketing, or public reception; the film delivers its ideas via absurdist humor and existential observation rather than ideological framing.
