#$ Che Criterion Collection Blu ray

the product description did not specify that this movie was in Spanish with optional English subtitles. Since it was an American made movie, it was unclear and I was unpleasantly surprised when I watched it and had to read subtitles for almost 4 hours.

#$ Che Criterion Collection Blu ray

Che is a four-hour plus film that really tests the patience of the average viewer. The film falls way short of reasonable expectations on several levels.



First, the film starts with a fully radicalized Che; with no background story on how the privileged doctor Ernesto became revolutionary communist Che. Without the back story of his evolution, it's hard to understand "where he is coming from".



Second, the film ignores his allegedly extremely violent manner and bloodthirsty executions he ordered on thousands of Cubans who were thought to be enemies of the state after Castro came into power.



Third, the film ignores his journey to the Congo. Something interesting must have happened there.



Fourth, the film spends hours showing Che and his band of guerillas wandering about the Bolivian mountains. Not that interesting.



I could go on, but despite the good acting by Benicio Del Toro, and some good cinematography, the movie is ultimately quite a disappointment.

++ Che Criterion Collection Blu ray

the wa y the movie was made is spectacular. i don't speak much spanish, only a bit, but i sure am glad this one is. the movie is very authentic covering as much as of che's life as sorderberg could in 4 hours. the movie is about revolution, one succesful one (at least in overthrowing the government) and an attempt that went to hell, in bolivia.che was by no means a saint, and the movie doesn't even stir in that direction. there are many interesting extras and i was very much in awe at sorderberg's perception that movies have become very insignificant in the past couple of decades, that being said, whether you like this film or not, it is one of the most significant ones ever made, as to what it portrayed, how it portrayed and by what means this movie was made.

enjoy!
