Leans Traditional
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating because its satire is directed broadly at the absurdity and hypocrisy of all political actors and ideologies involved, including US foreign policy, revolutionary movements, and dictatorships, rather than championing one side or offering a partisan critique.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, with the inclusion of some non-white actors primarily driven by the comedic setting in a fictional Latin American country rather than intentional DEI-focused casting. Its narrative offers a broad political satire, critiquing systems and human behavior without explicitly targeting or negatively framing traditional identities.
