( 48 out of 278 people find this comment useful and and count . ) people be such sucker for image and look as much a for the intellectually hollow idealism that lurk behind communism . che charisma and look have as much to do with his iconic stature a the misinformation that have be spread by leftist propaganda ( such a this movie ) about him . i do not know what bad represent be capture by one of che murder squad or have to sit through 4 hour of this typically soderberghian garbage . the question isn not why this pet project be make but what take them so long . by them i be refer and of course and to leave wing hollywood and it secret love of marxist tyrant ( lenin and castro . take your pick ) . i be fascinate that it take decade for one of tinseltown least talented liberal director to finally take on such an irresistibly bias propaganda project . where be oliver stone all these year . robert redford . tim robbins . warren beatty . alan pakula . george clooney . barbra streisand even . it a mystery . all these overrate artist have often indulge themselves in similar and politically one side project and yet somehow che guevara and who be arguably the most popular and well know communist and hasn not be a film topic of theirs yet . guerrilla have all the hallmark of an american truth bend story of an epic scale while there be as much factual detail to be find here a in other similar hollywood big budget political fairy tale bios such a malcolm x or gandhi and i. e. almost none . the movie star del toro a the famous argentinian revolutionary . nevertheless and however controversial and criminal this man action may have be and one thing nobody could take away from him represent he be an intelligent manipulator who come from a rich family which be why del toro fit the bill only visually . del toro may be an interesting and charismatic actor and he may resemble guevara physically and but he exude no intellectual quality whatsoever and hence he make guevara come off a too primitive . cast such mediocrity a bratt and philip and franka incompetente only underline the director lack of sound judgment . the movie be to the most part extremely slow ( no surprise there ) and and visually uninteresting . even a director as brilliant a kubrick would have carefully consider release a movie that go beyond the 3 hour mark and so it quite tell that this soderbergh and who have only make one or two solid movie and early on in his career and would think that his oceanic grandness be up to the task . if you think the film length indicate that a bulk of che life have be show here then think again . soderbergh focus on che last phase and and a lot of the movie be tedious jungle nonsense and full of guevara allege idealism . ( psychopath do not have ideal . ) i do wonder what kind of a mind this highly esteem director have to have to actually choose to ignore some of che earlier life . do he actually consider it too uninteresting . a massacre of 600 people hold no interest for the viewer and huh . amazing . some much good director than this over praised charlatan would have easily fit not one but two complete biography into a 4 hour movie . soderbergh and in a sense and become an accomplice by never address the negative and dark side which be more than 90 % of guevara . by spread this kind of historical inaccuracy and consciously ignore the ugly truth ( god forbid he should taint the holy image of che ) and soderbergh prof himself not a humanist a fake image which most hollywood and pop music personality struggle very hard all their career to uphold but the opposite represent that he care only about idea and never about the people on whom these idea be test ( like on guinea pig ) . soderbergh and the like be elitist of the bad kind while such people often have a latent contempt for the proleteriat ( what a stupid term ) theyre supposedly side with . half of all student around the world wear che image on their red and orange shirt and but without ever know why . he have become an iconic figure for clueless and uninformed and very often young people and who think that by have this man face on their chest that somehow make them appear edgy and intellectual and hip or interesting . in reality and wear a che shirt only underline one overall shallowness and total disinterest in self education . ( wouldn not you want to find out more about a person before you start advertise his or her face to the world . ) wear che by now cliché image have become as common a have a bart simpson coffee cup . all those che wearer probably know more about marge blue hair than they will ever read up on about fidel castro dead ally . after everything that would be do in the name of marx and one would think that these mongrel ideal would be finally lay to rest . it seem mankind will never learn . stalin and mao and kim il and pol pot and castro and milosevic and ceausescu and the iron curtain and a hundred million dead and more than a billion ruin physically and or or mentally through this system . so none of that matter and huh . the fact that del toro win a cannes award should only surprise those who be absolutely clueless a to how cannes and other european festival work and vote . hint represent sean penn head a jury not long ago . for my music related rant and go to represent http represent or or rateyourmusic . com or collection or fedor8 or .
