It took three days to finish the two biographical films. The first part was very painful to watch. I watched it for two days and fell asleep in the middle. After watching the second part in one go, I didn't get any sleepiness.

Clearly, the first is not as engaging as the second.

The first tells the story of Che Guevara's revolution in Cuba. Using an interview with an American reporter, insert Che Guevara's memories. Recall how he went from an Argentine to a Cuban revolutionary. How to fight side by side with Castro and achieve the final victory.

The whole film was very dull. It's just a running account. Not to mention the plot. It's a group of warriors fighting in the jungle, and then how to sacrifice, and how to get the support of the people, and then fight. Movies without dramatic conflict are painful to watch. It is only at the end of the film that there is a little tension in the street fighting in the city. I feel that this is really a revolution.

The second tells the story of how he led a guerrilla in South America, fought against the Bolivian army, and was eventually killed.

This one is very different from the previous one. Since there is a battle, there must be a conflict, and there are naturally interesting points that can attract the audience. So, I finished the second part in one go and read it in one go. Can't say it's very enjoyable, but you can really feel the survival state of the guerrillas. Movies that really reflect the guerrillas are rare. The fighting wasn't very intense, but the filming was real, and the guerrillas fought that way, and they weren't fighting large-scale battles with regular armies.

Comparing the two films, the second one is much better than the first one. Personally, these are two films shot by two directors.

Biographical films mainly portray characters, generally speaking, to create several characters. The two films of "Che Guevara" have created one character - Che Guevara, and everyone else is a trick. After watching the film, I think he is a taciturn person, who believes in communism, communism, doctrine, persists in armed struggle, and knows how to gain the trust of the people. In other respects, the director did not describe too much.

But the performance of our male lead did not leave a deep impression on me. For such a role, the actor only needs to be expressionless. I don't see him developing the character more deeply.

Through this film, we can feel a lot of things. The real living conditions of Latin America, their customs, and their living customs. Something deeper can also be felt...

Che Guevara failed for many reasons. Personally, I think he made a lot of mistakes. When foreigners come to a country and want to overthrow | overthrow | the country's regime, it is difficult to gain the support of the people. His method of guerrilla warfare is also not correct. He should read more of Mao Zedong's books and learn from our great guerrilla warfare masters.

From another point of view, this is a biography of Che Guevara filmed by Western countries. This is the interpretation of him by Westerners, and it is difficult to evaluate him objectively. I saw a Spanish actor in the movie, and you can guess that the main actors are from Mexico, Spain, the United States or Argentina. Therefore, this film is only recorded from one aspect. If you want to know more about him, you should also find other materials, such as Cuba and the Soviet Union.
