How Denis Villeneuve created one of the greatest characters of all time

Denis Villeneuve's Sicario uses Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) to explain it's title and explore it's themes. With this character analysis, I wanted to clarify why his character is so magnetic, and how he carries the weight of the movie, despite being a supporting character.
