Guest klit Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 I saw it sat. night. Movie was well acted, soundtrack was awesome, and story was very good. I didn't like the crowd reaction though. People clapping after che says something is a bit odd over here I think. I mean if you are living in miami, spending american dollars, and enjoying a new life away from your old life back in latin america you have no place to be acting a certain way. Che believed in a good idealogy where everybody could be equal and hopefully nobody living in hardships, but its one that would never work. And he went about his revolution using violent means, the movie was not about that but it should have showed that side of him I think to be realistic. They just made him look like a hero with only positive characteristics.Still a very good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMT Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 .... And he went about his revolution using violent means, the movie was not about that but it should have showed that side of him I think to be realistic.

Che was just a comunist whose dream was to violently overthrow the governments of latin america, thus making us part of his Comunist paradise. I don't see anything admirable on him.

Guest LeVeL Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 WOWSER!!!! What a fucking film...very...very well made. I just love how they featured the beautiful landscapes of the Andes Mountains in this film. Also how they demonstrated in this film how beautiful the countries of Argentina, Chile, Peru really are. Something that us latins have known all along. Gael Garcia and the guy who played the Chubby guy in the film were great. Great acting...I loved the soundtrack. Definetely a touching film in my opinion...I loved every minute of this movie. And the hidden message in the film which was if us latins got together and United each other we would be unstoppable.very Inspirational Movie...I recommend it to anybody who likes Independent Films or loves Spanish Flicks Period. And if your latin and you love your heritage this is defeinetely a must watch film.A+ all around in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatbiscuits Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Rented this movie with high expectations as the reviews were so good. But I must say, I'm a little disappointed. I expected a much better storyline but it's not entirely a bad flick :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
