CHE

Che Guevara
Ernesto “Che” Guevara is an Argentine Marxist revolutionary fighting for the rights of people. Part one of the movie involves the 26th of July Movement in which Che participated alongside Fidel Castro in 1959 to overthrow the Fulgencio Batista government of Cuba.
The movie shifts from Mexico to Cuba, it is presented in a matter-of-fact way. People can see Guevara and his men combating with government troops on their way to victory over the American-backed dictator Batista.
Guevara became man an legend for most of South America, his impressive personal traits as bravery and brilliantness were dedicated to his cause and was an icon among revolutionaries. Benicio Del Toro, just as handsome and charismatic actor as Guevara plays him onscreen.
Thanks to Guevara, the poor weren’t quit as poor and a corrupt regime was toppled, but in its place came a dictatorship. Fifty years after the so-called liberation, there has been no free election in Cuba.
It is always great to see filmmakers to make more independent projects. Steven Soderberg has taken the "one for them, one for me" concept of film-director politics to an almost comically programmatic extreme.
This movies shows that they can make something that will appeal to the mainstream but also that they can divert their talent toward something that they can put more thought and personal investment into.
