Benicio Del Toro is fantastic in his portrayal of Che Guevara – fabled revolutionary of Latin America. Steven Sodderberg directed this awesome movie that begins with clandestine meetings in Mexico City and culminates with the taking of Havana by Che and the leader of the movement, Fidel Castro.
There is a romantic quality to this film which comes into full light when juxtaposed against Che: Part 2 (review to follow). Che comes across as someone devoted to high level ideals – willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for the betterment of the people.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
