tell about the year from his fateful first encounter with the castro brother in mexico to the end of the revolution and the argentine help show how a young doctor become a comandante respect and love by a nation that be not even his . this be a man with ideal and one who believe in the love of humanity and justice and and truth . he be a doctor above all else and patch up the troop and make sure the people in every village they pass through have the care and attention they need . he also be not afraid to lead the charge and stand at the frontlines without fear of death . one must live a though they have already die and then the fear will be go and you can do what be necessary for the cause . it be about the group and the country and not about his survival . in his idealized communist belief he be fight for cuba and the only outcome allow be victory or his own destruction . soderbergh ambition be evident right from the start . although it mainly concern the year between 1955 1962 and he splice in event happen later on a che visit the un . shot in black and white to help juxtapose against the sumptuous color of our main action and these future scene comment on what be happen during the war and cut in to enhance the tale . there be a lot of structural jumping between the year and each change title with a date and place to orient u a the viewer . the technique lend a more modern artistic scope to what would otherwise be a linear narrative and i believe help tell the story more coherently . he have edit the film for the most efficient portrayal of the fact and a somewhat cause and effect relationship to good let u understand the situation . and it be a beautifully shot film and lend a fly on the wall type feel a we follow the revolutionary or watch the un debate . it be less artifice than an account of what happen base on the memoir of guevara himself . all the battle and all the victory from start to finish and his own uphill advancement through the rank and from doctor to right hand man and instructor of new recruit to leader of an army . however and if this film be to be believe and che never want the power past be able to get the job do . once cuba be free he want to bring the revolution to all of latin america and to share his experience and political viewpoint . an intelligent man and he be show fight for his belief and no matter the cost . unafraid to do what be need meant he be unafraid to kill . do a man like that deserve to be glorify in a film like this . that be in the eye of the beholder because to some he be a hero and a patriot and but like every conflict in history and where there be a good side there be a bad . to view a battle objectively be impossible because there will always be someone to defend it and someone else to protest . the argentine be one that will make you think about the strength of the mind and the power of idea . a country come together and help back a revolt with force to take over the government . with the charismatic and understated performance from benicio del toro a che and one can not help but see why . always with a smile and a kind word and he rule with respect and without compromise his belief . the fact that he lead intellectually make the moment of outburst that much more effective . the role should garner a lot of praise a he embody the man completely and shed any preconception of the actor himself . demotion and promotion do not apply during his tenure in the army and he do what castro need him to do while he follow his leader and expect the same from those under him . he portray this man a one to be listen to and take seriously . castro himself hold council and value his idea and and one might say that if fidel be the face of the revolt and the man pull the string and che be the muscle and the force allow it all to happen . in the end and though and while the visuals be gorgeous and the act superb and it be the story that leave a little something to be desire . structurally interesting and easy to follow than one might think due to the jump in time and we be not show all the detail . often time we be throw directly into the action without knowledge of why we be there or what be happen for what reason . event occur and we be show flash and learn detail after the fact or never at all . an example be when che all of a sudden need a cast for his arm . we do not know what happen and another character actually ask him and but when the answer be about to be say and we cut to another scene . soderbergh seem to have craft the tale he want to and only allow u to see what he deem important and while leave all other detail by the wayside . he paint guevara in a kind light and a a warrior with a purpose and never put himself in front of the mission or country . in that regard the film be about the argentine and but on the whole it be really about the war itself . why be batista bad . why be castro good . none of that matter . this isn not a history lesson show the reasoning or rationale and you can get that in a book . instead soderbergh be just share the event themselvesas they happen and not why . you can not deny the scale or ambition on display and however and the lack of background may make it hard to decipher and or even hard to really care .
