      romantic idealist warrior

      He was the most famous leader and revolutionary of the Latin American independence movement. He was an influential and controversial figure on the left. You may not necessarily be able to name his name, but you must have seen T-shirts, schoolbags, berets with his head on some occasions, and so on.

      You are the coolest life I can imagine

      Only the first half as Che Guevara said the war was won and the revolution was just beginning. The iconic big black boots were on the screen and it all started. He didn't wear a suit or leather, even in the plenary of the United Nations. He looked forever. He's sober and introspective, even when he's asthmatic, his brain keeps spinning, his pen keeps writing,
        he's really a warrior, not just a joke, staying up all night for a few nights without sleeping, playing all over the world, not...

      What if Hollywood didn't make theme films?

      The current Hollywood movies you see are the main themes. Even "Chevara," starring someone who resembles Black Pitt. The director tries his best to rely on art films, relying on it, or relying on the main theme: dreams, freedom, and serving most people. The color treatment of jungle green and city black is also not new. Spielberg used it long ago. In my opinion, compared with the movies of this man and that man, except for the slow rhythm and the procrastination of the story, there is...

      I don't quite understand it, this history is too unfamiliar, I only heard of Castro and Che Guevara... Except for the more exciting battle scenes in the last 30 minutes, the others are very biographical, and it took 6 or 7 times in 10 days to read them... There is a soundtrack in it that is super similar to Metal Slug 4 (or 5?)...
