Anyone seen it? I've seen the first part, and have yet to watch the second part.

Not wanting to be verbose, I thought it was really fucking good. :lol:

Seriously, Del Toro did a damn good job of playing Che Guevara. The film is about 3 hours long but it keeps you locked on. I recommend it.

Also, has anyone seen the second part? (I'm still trying find a good quality version to download :oops: )

    i have always wondered about che and i hope you can enlighten me, but what's with the fascination behind him? didn't he brutally murder a bunch of people or am i just imagining this :? (i don't mean to be a prick, i truly wanna know)

    the movie was good if you're a fan of Che. It was slow, but good.

    its not an action film by any stretch...I think it was trying to accurately portray the revolution...which apparently wasn't all that glamorous.


    good.

    Yeah i saw both parts in the cinema. Good film but didn't include enough of his philosophy. Why he did what he did ect.

    Dvd/blu ray are out soon.

    Well, he fought a revolutionary war, but as for brutally murdering a bunch of people, that's news to me.

    You have a computer in front of you, right? Then the answer is at your fingertips.

    Well, it does show him speaking with the farmers e.t.c. during his trek across Cuba. A lot of the reasons for the revolution are shown & discussed.
    Also, it pans backwards and forwards and time a lot, and one scene is of him speaking at the U.N about the motivations for the revolution. Overall I think the film says all it needs to say about the philosophy behind the struggle.

    in theory, but i was too lazy to look it up :P i figure, if these guys were really into che they'd tell me the gist of it instead of having me go through pages of crap just to find what i was looking for, but i'll do it anyway :)
