bokonon Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 just saw this documentary about che guevara's road trips after medical school and before he went to cuba. it was really well done, totally loved it! i don't want to say much more for fear of wrecking the movie. i highly recommend it.

hamilton Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Is it a documentary? I mean, like with archival footage and interviews and a voice-over by Donald Sutherland? I had the impression that it was more of a dramatization of real-life events rather than a documentary, but then again, I have been known to be wrong from time to time, and haven't actually watched the movie. Plus, I'm rather stoned right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I saw it at Westdale a few weeks ago.. You're right Hamilton, its a dramatization of real-life events rather than an actual documentary.. I guess Guevara buffs will really enjoy seeing someone's interpretation of Che in his young 20's and how his character and beliefs began to take form in those years. I enjoyed the film but to tell you the truth I was expecting something more from it.. For some reason I was expecting to see some amazing cinematography.. Anyhoo its worth watching, but not amazing, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 i guess i used the term documentary a bit loosely. what i meant was that it is based on factual events from his life. i think the only "real footage" is at the end when they show his road trip companion as he looks today. i am not positive that the old guy on the screen really is him but that is what is implied.
