I would like to say that the movie was to me misleading in alot of elements.
Espeically in Che Guevaras character. The character of Che in this movie was that more of Raul Castro as how Raul is described in Jon Lee Andersons biography of Che and in some of Che's diary entries.
The image of Che in this movie does not give me that sensation of a powerful pure revolutionary man, that his diaries and Jon Lee Andersons biography does. To make a movie with Ches character, you have to be sure that the character stands out how his revolutionary spirit does, this move does not.
Also Che never cold bloodly executed anyone "for example in this movie, he shots an army soldier in the middle of lecture he is giving to the army soldiers, he firstly started to lecture them saying that they should be on the revolutions side then he pulls out his pistols then says "and you idiot?!" to one of them then shots him without trial nor anything"
This never happened, it was not in any biography nor in any of his diary entries, so if it is not in his entries i doubt this would of happened, after all why would you lie in your own diary, Che never lied. Proof of that was, yes in a few ocasions he sided for execution to some enemies but they were trialed and he never shot them on the spot just liek that, this is in his diary entries.
When ever an emeny was executed they would be trialed before, not executed at one commandates spare of the moment decision.
I must say very dissapointing movie.
