Che: Part Two (2008)
6/10
in the wilderness with Che
26 July 2015
Part Two is titled Guerrilla. In 1965, Che disappears from Cuba and declares in a letter read by Castro that he intends to go abroad to spread the revolution. In 1966, he arrives in Bolivia in disguise. He joins a local group of revolutionaries. However he finds it difficult to recruit from the distrustful locals. He struggles to gain their trust. His group suffers desertions and loses. They are outnumbered and hounded by the Army and its CIA advisers.

This part uses a straight forward timeline. The problem is that the story is a long slow downhill trek. The movie incorporates that feeling and it's a grind. The story meanders aimlessly like the guerrillas. It's also repetitive as the days seem to be the same over and over again. Che has nothing but problems as they grind him down. In the process, they grind down the audience.
