Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict, a critique of racial prejudice against Native Americans and advocacy for peace through understanding, aligns with progressive values. Its solution emphasizes individual empathy and cross-cultural communication to overcome division.
The movie employs traditional casting methods for its period, featuring a white lead and white actors in Native American roles. However, its narrative is significant for its sympathetic portrayal of Native Americans and its critique of colonial prejudice, advocating for cross-cultural understanding.
Secondary
The film portrays Cochise, a historical Chiricahua Apache chief, with a white actor (Jeff Chandler). This casting of a historically Native American figure by a white actor constitutes a race swap.

Broken Arrow (1950) is a historical Western film that does not feature any transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on the conflict and eventual peace between settlers and Native Americans, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
