i be go to review the 2 film a a whole because i feel that be how it should be consider and and watch . when i talk about the film i be talk about part 1 and 2 together when watch one after the other and a they should be . thank you jon anderson and steven soderbergh and benicio del toro . this film be a refreshing and bold and gritty and true film . and and it hearken a new style of film making . no faux drama . no swell sound track . not faux documentary style . just clean shot and an attempt to stick to the fact . i have be read jon anderson che guevara represent a revolutionary life and recently finish fidel auto biography and and this have help my ability to soak this film in properly . but i have to say that it be jon anderson exhaustive and penultimate and wonderful biography that have give this film the proper historical back bone . anderson be consultant on this film ( or these 2 film ) . what make this film a true thing be that it be clean . no swell music or slow motion photography to heighten drama and and even more importantly while no fake documentary shaky camera . just square shot and straight forward shoot style . the type of camera use make you feel right there in the jungle . benicio del toro should be give full honor for this and i never doubt him a che throughout the film . not once . he do a wonderful job and i will respect him for ever for this . some people complain that the film only deal with 2 slice of his life and not the whole . but i think this be one of the true beautiful aspect of this film represent it doesn not try to be everything . it doesn not try to tell the story . a person life be too multifaceted to try and tell in 2 and 4 and 8 and 16 or 32 hour . this be one of the subtle beauty of this film and it resist that temptation and and stay focus on the intent of let u get a feel for che and his develop militaristic mind and the force around him . it focus on 3 slice of time represent the battle to over throw batista and che u. n. speech and the gorilla preparation in bolivia . motorcycle diary already tell his young man side and and i applaud s. soderbergh for focus on other aspect instead . i keep refer to jon anderson book and the film stay true . the only weak link for me be the casting ( not the performance ) of matt damon . in a film so loaded with true to life performance and an american and ( matt damon ) play a bolivian be a clunky stretch he do well and but after so much care in the casting and this be an over site . small and completely forgive . the reality that the rest of the cast give you and and most notably benicio del toro amaze job and put this film at the top of my list . the fact that this film go almost straight to video say something about how the cold war ethic that would never allow the revolutionized cuba to become what it might have and be still at work keep it story quiet . if not out of clandestine muffling and then out of the effect of properly do propaganda that have prejudice this topic . this be a must see film and and jon anderson che guevara represent a revolutionary life be a must read if you want to start to get a grasp of the early effect on the global mind set regard the expansion of international or political financial chess move of the 40 and 50 and 60 that place unfair pressure on our south american neighbor and and the effect it foster .
