Che: Part Two Reviews

I had already watched this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, once again, I was quite impressed by the directing which was really solid and by Benecio del Toro who gave an amazing performance. Still, if the only flaw of the first part was that Che Guevara seemed rather flawless and the whole thing looked sometimes like a propaganda movie, this second part was actually too neutral in my opinion. Indeed, was it too bad that Guevara didn't manage to bring his revolution somewhere else or did he actually get what he deserved because he was maybe just lucky the first time around? Indeed, the whole thing never took side. Instead, it only focused on the facts and, as a result, in 2 hours, I still don't think that I have learn so much about the guys after all. Still, it was pretty neat how this second movie actually mirrored the first movie, showing how Guevara followed pretty much the same process and while it seemed to go rather well for a while, the outcome turned out to be dramatically different, especially for him. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, since I'm a sucker for (leftist) political movies, I thought it was still a really fascinating story and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested by this subject.
