Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by sympathetically portraying the awakening of Che Guevara's revolutionary consciousness in response to systemic social and economic injustice, framing this transformation as a necessary response to the suffering of the oppressed.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, reflecting the various populations encountered during the protagonists' journey across South America. The narrative subtly critiques social injustices and inequalities, fostering an awareness of marginalized communities without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
The film portrays Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a historical figure of documented white European descent, with Gael García Bernal, an actor of mestizo (mixed Indigenous and European) heritage. This constitutes a race swap.

The film primarily focuses on the protagonists' journey and their encounters with poverty and social injustice across South America, rendering the framework for evaluating trans portrayal inapplicable.
