portrait of a hero, it is only subjective story. vision of director, it represents idyllic image of a revolutionary, mixture of savior and blameless knight. so, not accuracy or realistic drawing of his gestures are virtues of film. but beauty of images and the courage of viewer to forget than lead character is Guevara can be useful. for discover figure of a man and his values, his force and vulnerability, a new version of Don Quijote and slices of admiration of few people. it is pure propaganda and the innocence of West in case of Cuban revolution is usual explanation. but, maybe, in this case is more than a sentimental error. few scenes presents ingredients of an ideal. the speech in UN session is symbol of Bovarism. it is a beautiful movie, too long, boring in some moments but beautiful. not only for images or acting. but for emotion of a good director in search of his idol.
... View MoreChe: Part Two serves as a great follow-up to the first part of the series, although perhaps it stands at a slightly lower level compared to it. This does not mean that one must watch the first and not the second however. This one perhaps just becomes a bit repetitive after seeing Ernesto Guevara recruiting men and fighting in the jungle for several hours in both movies. Moreover, whilst the first movie kept showing Che in the United States giving speeches and interviews throughout the movie, this one did not do the same innovative thing. The film did hold its own however by providing a good storyline and suspenseful moments which make the historic aspect of the movie very interesting and engaging. Furthermore, the character of Ernesto Guevara was very well played by Benicio Del Toro, as he certainly reached the audience through all the struggles he overcame in the movie, including his battle against both sickness and opposition. Together, Part One and Part Two make up a fantastic series about the life of Ernesto Guevara during his guerrilla leader years.
... View MoreChe: Part One was a fascinating experiment, which did not only tell a very interesting story, but it also tried to do something different with the "biopic" genre.Che: Part Two is the excellent culmination of this experiment.This movie offers all of the same attributes from the first one, from the extraordinary performances (specially from Benicio del Toro) to Steven Soderbergh's brilliant direction, without forgetting its intention of breaking with the conventional rules from the biopics.That is what I admire from Soderbergh's experiments...they always try to do something different and unusual, and they succeed most of the times.The final message from this film is perfect, and it includes everything we have been told about Che Guervara's life.The only fail I found on Che: Part Two is that a few parts felt a bit irrelevant.In summary, I give Che: Part Two a very enthusiastic recommendation because, as the first one, it is a brave and fascinating experiment which challenges the spectator and leaves us thinking.
... View MoreI've read up a little bit on Che before watching this film and you wanna know something, he was a real hero for the people because he only wanted to see equality for everyone and that he hated what the oppressive forces were doing to his people as well as all other Latin Americans in general! Now, I don't know about others, but to me he did the right thing by wanting socialism so that everyone had to pay their fair share. However, the powerful elite obviously weren't going to go for that. So, rather than understanding what Che Guevera wanted, they were forced to kill him in attempting to suppress the revolution. It didn't work since there were too many of his other followers who only picked up where he left off. A good example of this was when Castro continued his leadership in Cuba. As far as I'm concerned and as Che said it himself right before he died: "If you kill me, that's fine. But you're only killing a man, you'll NEVER kill the cause!" I couldn't have said it any better myself.But ... ANYWAYS.... that's why I give this film a 7 out of 10.
