Che Part One

Last night Sara took me to see the newly released semi-underground film Che Part One, the first installment of a 2-part movie about the legendary Ernesto Guevara, that sort of picks up where Robert Redford's unrelated movie The Motorcycle Diaries left off.

Che Part One film covers Che's rise in the revolutionary ranks and ends in January 1959 when the 30-year-old Che heads towards Havana to begin what he considers the really important part of the revolution, creating a new kind of society.

It's an interesting, if somewhat one-sided, movie, which I guess is to be expected since it's based in part on Che's book Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War.

All in all I liked the cinematography and the feel of the film, and the acting was good too. Definitely worth seeing...
