i come to watch guerrilla and part two of steven soderbergh biopic of che guevara and without have see the preceding film and without more than a cursory knowledge of che life . at the same time i be rather apprehensive that this would be both a heavy go history lesson and an unrepentant love letter to the iconic revolutionary . a it turn out and this film far exceed my expectation . guerrilla work remarkably well a a standalone film . the story of che fail attempt to lead a revolution in bolivia and then under military rule and be a compelling tragedy . the initial impetus bring by che arrival incognito to lead the guerrilla war be lose a misfortune follow misfortune . the odds stack up against the revolutionary . u back for the bolivian army and hostile condition in the rainforest and suspicious local and che failing health be just some of the difficulty which beset the nascent rebellion . soderbergh portrayal of che be largely uncritical and but this film be no hagiography . the style be refreshingly undramatic and with a subtle and effective soundtrack by alberto iglesias add quiet drama to many scene . che be undoubtedly the centre of the film but there be very few close ups of his face and we be encourage to see the people fight alongside him and sometimes against him too . where soderbergh wish to demonstrate che virtue we see it in small episode such a the loyal acolyte who upbraid two fellow guerrilla when they question che leadership and and emphasise the sacrifice that he have make in leave behind cuba to fight again for revolution . the direction throughout be superb . part two feel tightly edit despite it narrow focus and be able to communicate a great deal through image without the need for a narrator to spell thing out for the audience . at the start of the film we see a few short clip of lavish party in post revolutionary cuba and immediately furnish u with idea a to why che would sacrifice his old life to fight again in another country . later on and the portrayal of guerrilla march through the unending rainforest stand out a a strikingly beautiful scene and help to create a feeling of the enormity of the task before this tiny band of revolutionary . if there be a problem with the film it be the distance between the viewer and che and which and though it do allow u to appreciate the context of the insurgency and the people around him and make it hard for u to understand him well a a person . true and benicio del toro be utterly convincing in the lead role so much so that it be difficult to remember that you be watch an actor and not the man himself . however and watch guerrilla a a standalone film mean that we be give precious little insight into what be shape che thought and word and action . it be to be hop that this be more to the fore in the first part of soderbergh biopic ( i can not comment on that yet ) and and certainly the strength of part two be make me look forward eagerly to see the prequel .
