The film subtly critiques class disparity and political corruption in Mexico through its background montages and the contrasting lives of its characters, while also exploring themes of sexual liberation and the loss of innocence, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The movie features a cast that naturally reflects its Mexican setting, including Mexican and Spanish characters, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers a subtle critique of class disparities and certain aspects of masculinity within its cultural context, rather than an explicit or central focus on DEI themes or a negative portrayal of traditional identities.
