Biography of the Oppressor

After seeing the ending and knowing that this is a film based on a real person, I feel that the director is more loyal to the original work and is shooting, and does not dig too much.
Maybe because the characters in the original book are relatively bland, the film naturally formed from oppression to resistance. There is no more reflection in the character's heart, and the transformation into action also uses itself as a shield.
The most impressive is Guevara's biographical shooting. He saw the injustice of society and decided to join the revolution, but this is not necessarily the only choice. But the protagonist in the film has no choice, either kneeling to live or standing to die!
If there are more characters' inner portrayal, it may be more exciting!
