During a 1959 press conference Luis Pons, a prominent Cuban black, asked Che Guevara, what the revolution planed on doing to help blacks. Che answered: “We’re going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.”No doubt whatsoever, a racist guy to the core.
They think he's this guy who fought imperialism instead of Fidel's executioner. A butcher who was a humorless psychopath. Fidel's crew are what happens when terrorists win. They turn their country into a living hell, where people have no rights and are killed or imprisoned for talking back. Maybe that's why some leftists admire them. They wish they had that kind of power themselves.
Indeed they will. The time of reckoning is approaching, and at that time the **** will hit the fan and Che fans will have it all over their faces. Bon Appétit
Well, the youth in the island nowadays show their “spirit of rebellion” by growing long hair, listening to Rock & Roll and questioning the regime mandates. They act as individuals. This guy failed in practically everything.
If the regime repressive apparatus found that you have Beatles records or that you listen to their music, they will send you to the UMAP.
If you're going to wear a T-shirt with someone's image on it, it seems like you should know more about the real person whose image you're sporting (and therefore sponsoring), like, say, Che Guevara.
Che, parts one and two doesn't say anything particularly interesting or contain any memorable moments. The fact is that we learn next to nothing about Cuba.
Soderbergh, on the DVD make the remarks that all he was interested in doing was getting the film made. Sorry, but you have to make something that people want to watch, not just walk away.
The music was simply awful, long passages of random noise just got in the way of what little development and action that might be occurring on screen. The dialog was similarly inept. Although better in the first movie, by the time the second rolls around, what little dialog is left, it is really a wooden dialog.
Certainly it is sanitizes, they omitted all the "inconvenient truths" about his life from the script.
Che Guevara, the one and only, the butcher of la Cabaña.
Cuba has had one of the most literate populations in Latin America well before the Castroit regime came to power. The national illiteracy rate was 18% in 1958, ranking third in Latin America. The female percentage, in relation to the total student population, was the highest in the Western Hemisphere including the US. The United Nations Statistics Division yearbook of 1959 shows Cuba having 3.8 university students per 1,000 inhabitants, well above the Latin America median of 2.6. Cuban’s texts books were exported to several Latin American countries, bringing in 1958 $10 million in revenue.
“Rodriguez had brought back some personal relics from his trip, among them one of several Rolex watches found in Che’s possession” ('Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life', Jon Lee Anderson, 1997, p. 741).
