Che Guevara is a symbol of hope, social justice, and revolutionary who fought for the poor and oppressed. For those who are not familiar with Che, Fidel and the Cuban revolution, the film loses the audience immediately. There's no continuity, it just doesn't flow. The characters chosen to play Che and Fidel do not even come close to resembling the real historical figures in any way at all, be it in physical appearance, in speech, (for that matter you might have as well had them speaking in Spanish with English subtitles.) or in character. The film was confusing, hard to follow, boring and unrealistic in personifying the true essence of the events and the characters. It really was a terrible re-enactment of perhaps one of the world's most magnificent revolutions; as well as a poor portrayal of one of histories' most memorable and courageous human beings ever to walk the planet. The recent film, 'Che' with Benicio Del Toro was an excellent and more realistic portrayal of this revolutionary hero. The film is divided into two parts, both historically and chronologically correct. The characters chosen to play Che and Fidel made me feel like I was really watching the true Che and Fidel at the time of the revolution. I definitely recommend seeing this film to get a true sense of what it was like being el Che.Read full review
In Cuba, the population resented the rule of the dictator Batista. Even the USA wanted him out of power. Fidel Castro from the south-east rural side of Cuba knew the land and the locals and sprang himself and Ernesto Guevara from a Mexican jail and into a 6 day sea voyage with 84 men who landed secretly on Fidel's home turf and battled Batista's army with guerilla warfare that galvanised the population into rising up against the government, bringing the surviving 12 soldiers into power in Havana. But the Argentinian nicknamed "Che" by his comrades grew homesick and sought a similar battle on the Alto Planar back in South America, where his luck ran out. Eduardo Noriega paints a believable asthmatic "Che" who comes to prominence simply because the bullets miss him, when they hit others. His one talisman was his belief in the potential equality of men.Read full review
This movie is difficult to understand; it should be only for people who already know Che biography. It includes too many episodes from his life, and it is too much information for such a short time. Sometimes this movie does not have a logic timeline. It also has some inaccurate historical facts.
