Arizona (1984) stands out for its commitment to centering the Latin American experience. By focusing on the immigrant struggle, it challenges the typical demographics in Western genres. The film successfully places characters of color at the heart of the plot, shifting from peripheral to central roles. This provides a fresh perspective on the American West. However, the film lacks depth in other identity-based areas. There is no visible representation of LGBTQ+ identities or characters with disabilities, leaving those narrative dimensions unexplored.
Category Breakdown

Female performers such as Ana De Sade are part of the cast, but the narrative emphasizes the actions and physical endurance of male characters. This often places women in supporting roles.
The film intentionally centers Mexican immigrants with a predominantly Latino cast. Characters of color play central roles, challenging traditional Anglo-centric Western clichés.
The narrative explores the tension between national borders and human movement. It critiques geopolitical institutions by depicting the immigrant experience as tragic.
There is no documented evidence of characters with physical or neurodivergent disabilities in this film.
