Che (Che: Part 1 (The Argentine) / Che: Part 2 (Gu

Benicio Del Toro delivers a searing, emotional performance as Ernesto "Che" Guevara, an asthmatic Argentine doctor who became one of Latin America's most legendary revolutionary leaders in the 1950s. Director Steven Soderbergh recounts the events of the Cuban revolution, in which Guevara, Fidel Castro (Demiàn Bichir), Tamara Bunke (Franka Potente) and other revolutionaries worked to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.



Rated R 4 1/2 hours 2008

2.25 stars (Dale-2, David-2.5). Hard to follow as it bounced all over the place, captions zoomed by to quickly to study faces. If you do not know the history well, then do not bother watching the movie. I assume you would be lost quickly becuase there is no explanation of any of the characters motives, the background, what lead up to the revolution, why Che was in disguise in the beginning of part two etc.

I watched the first 1/2 hour on cable and turned it off!

I suppose it is because movies these days are so time-constrained, but they just whiz through a lot of stuff that would add to our understanding and enjoyment of the story. I think I miss 80% of what the director had in mind because I don't know what important document the actor is looking at, or don't have time to read what we are shown on it. The details are there in a lot of cases, but we don't get a chance to notice them.

for sure...was disappointed though cause i really wanted to learn about who Che is. Was hoping for more insight instead of confusion!
