Having seen the movie, "Fidel," we get a totally different Che, than the one in that movie. In "Fidel," Castro is a kindly ideological revolutionary while Che is his ruthless hatchet man, killing anyone one comes in his way, and forcing Castro to accept communism. In this movie Castro is the mean killer. Che is the likable overly compassionate doctor, trying to bring a revolution to Cuba while fighting his asthma and randomly taking bullets because apparently he hasn't read his own book on warfare.
The actor who played Fidel looked nothing like him, well he did have a beard. The movie starts out in Bolivia 1967 with Che being captured near the end of his life. We then flashback to the revolution and pre-revolution times. The next thing we know Che is sitting in a chair smoking a cigar giving an interview to some white bread chick in Havana, post revolution. During the interview we flashback again to the revolution. During the flashbacks, we have duel scenes when the movie flashes ahead slightly during the flashback, such as when he meets a girl, he is talking to her for the first time, and then it flashes ahead to when they make love, then back to the conversation, ahead to loving making etc. OW! my head hurts, make them stop! Please stop editing films on acid!
The movie is pro Che, or somewhat anti-American. One of my right wing friends would chide my overly left wing views by saying "Che was a weenie." This movie portrays Che as that weenie, someone who brings revolution in spite of himself.
Not worth the view, even to a revolutionary.
