Che reminds me of al Zawahari...he was a doctor and there was not a government that he didn't wish to leave alone and not topple, using terrorism. Yes, bombing and killing of civilians, the infamous firing squads of El Paredon (or the big wall).
Che was not smart as Fidel, which was able to swiftly remove those that helped him get to power and thus remove competition. Huber Matos was thrown in jail, Camilo Cienfuegos mysteriously died in a plane crash, and Che was sent to Bolivia to die like a pig trying to topple their government with no resources.
By no means governments in South and Central America are worthy of praise. But the lefty governments as those of Fidel want to be in power forever, and make their siblings richer than God and maintain power. Now we have Raul. And Chavez is doing the same. He already lost a referendum that would allow him to stay in power indefinitely, so he is trying it again. And of course his brother is governor in one of Venezuela's provinces. And he is sending moneys to his cronies just in case he cannot stay in power. It's sad, but these governments go to govern penniless and are worth tens of millions if they can be removed from power. Venezuela just purchased 5 billion in weaponry from the Soviets, as if they were in war, while their people don't have to eat.
This film is totally biased and tries to portray Che as an idealistic Robin Hood. It infuses Hollywood from facts, yet in doing so it also failed to deliver saying much. I want my time back.
Che part 2--thanks but no thanks.
