Language: Spanish
Cast: Gael García Bernal,
Rodrigo De la Serna, Mercedes Morán.
Story: This is a story based on
the real life road trip across South America
taken by Che Guevara that changes him forever.
Screenplay and direction: exceptionally
good.
Performances: Gael García Bernal
is outstanding; he is an amazing actor, able to portray complex emotions
subtly. I am a fan. Rodrigo De la Serna is really good and really all the
support cast has done well.
Interesting: At the end of the
movie the real Alberto who was Che Guevara’s friend is shown, it really moved
me to see what people can achieve and endure in one lifetime and how little we
movie watching people are compared to the doers who have changed the face of
history with their passion.
USP: Scenes, performances,
beautifully made, fascinating story.
Downside: somewhat biased toward
communism, dull in parts,
Verdict: I don’t live in a
bubble and understand what a Revolution means El Che is somewhat a hero to me
and to see this story of his transformation from a traveler to who he would
become is fascinating. As for the movie alone the scenes are beautiful the
story is thought provoking and the performances are spectacularly realistic.
Loved the movie 10/10
