"Another problem is our two protagonists, it is of import to understand provinciality isn't equivalent to primitivism, Rosa and Enrique are naive, but depicting them as merely good-hearted simpletons can only do the ethnic characterization a major disservice, every human being has complexity to spare, Trinidad Silva's motel owner Monte Bravo serves as a fair example and the actor is a scene-stealing with his weasel-like slyness. Yet in the case of these two unlucky siblings, no character arc is in evidence here (Enrique's nightmare induced by dispatching a soldier vanishes into thin air once he is on the soil of USA), they are here to elicit our compassion and din into us the doctrine that we shouldn't be racist because they are out-and-out good people, which is a false claim since extirpating racism needs no clause."
