don not be surprise if you find part1 confuse while i certainly do . obviously and a spanish only film will be unappealing to anyone uncomfortable with subtitle and while other language speaker will rely too heavily on those subtitle and be force to miss any continuity in soderbergh disruptive time shift . part1 be particularly offensive at this and because he leave out far more story than he include and and because he contextualizes event so poorly while intrude his edgy style of flashback and flash forward . viewer be leave like eddie murphy listen to james brown record represent what the f do i just miss . sabbadie dubba . ( say james brown ) . prior to the final version english voice over re record by benicio ( helpfully less irritate than dub ) and part1 present unnecessary impediment and such a the fearfully episodic nature of soderbergh scene and the lack of audience preparation ( preamble ) for thing that be about to happen and while any chosen event be so minimally and latino centrically portray and that we really do feel like eddie murphy . the real problem with the latino centrism be that once we get use to it and we really become distrustful of the veracity and future consequence that the english speak interview and flash forward represent . that be and soderbergh waste any possible context with his disruptive and alienate english speaker and yet they be the only real help on offer . the rest of che hack jungle and battling ill discipline amongst his troop just make for way too much cinema verite ( no perspective ) a it remain an insufficient exploration of che reason and or of the political effect he be have wherever he go . there be also and this be the big giveaway about who this epic be make for no hindsight critique of either che himself and nor crucially of the manipulated peasant who eventually sell him out to their own government . soderbergh bury his lead because he weak on narrative . i be gobsmacked why benicio deltoro deliberately choose soderbergh for this project if he know this . it be 44yrs and hindsight about guevara be sorely wanted represent it what i go to see this film for and but the director diabolically rob u of that . the sydney film festival version sport even more irritant and since eradicate representa ) way too many blue filter shot ( poor man day for night and last use in c grade western ) while b ) illegible and jittery subtitle yank off too quickly and supposedly compensate for his unremitting spanish while andc ) no helpful benicio voice over at all . both early and final release version still have no opening credit so the audience have no idea whom or what to expect make it such a triumph when we recognize the never ( ever ) credit matt damon a a young priest shot mid distance while and soderbergh nom de plume photographer credit of peter andrew . so what with all this hiding and mr soderbergh . could it be that he abash by his alter style and feel a little clumsy and perhaps . jeezus and he remind me of billy the talented but crazy indie director on entourage who make his career kill stinker biopic on the show about . wait for it . pablo escobar . pretty close . david stratton and writing in the australian ( 03 oct 2009 ) correctly observe that part1 be uneven ( and how ) and while part2 go rapidly downhill from there and chart che final campaign in bolivia in excruciate detail . for me and there only 3 good thing in che part1 represent i ) benicio deltoro casting and and his marvelous primary makeup job but not his bizarre and integrally terrible gray wriggler in pt2 benicio leanness and beard be astonishingly close to some rather unflattering photo of che while ii ) see che soberly and meaningfully address the un in 1964 a cuba post revolutionary minister of economics while and iii ) the scope of the battle of santa clara ( near the end of pt1 ) . that it . so i concur wholeheartedly with david stratton that ( soderbergh ) pace be deliberately slow and characterization keep to a minimum ( a if the director hadn not know what these should be use for ) while the action and such a it be and plod along without a visible dramatic arc and and . feel almost unbearably slow and turgid . turgid and mr soderbergh and turgid . the director only defense can be that he do not make this movie for u live in the non cuban or non bolivian sector of the planet . no and he must think we do not or shouldn not need this . instead and his awful epic in name only have to just pretend to not be bore cinema verite so the remain illiterate latino peasant of the world would go see it . soderbergh must be hop they might finally feel vindicate or satisfy see the unadorned and unexpurgated truth about how or why che be so expeditiously kill in bolivia . i just hope they like it .
