Two are very long, the upper part is in Cuba, the lower part is in Bolivia. The film is basically shown in the form of a documentary, and the reflections are extremely profound. In particular, Guevara and Castro paid great attention to protecting the private rights of the common people during the revolution. They were not like some revolutionaries who claimed to be orthodox. Revolution is to destroy the enemy and his property and create an atmosphere of terror. During the revolution, Guevara tried his best to minimize the losses of the enemy and himself, never slaughtered prisoners, but also protected the property of the rich and the middle class, and worked hard to maintain social order during the revolution. This is very important. Violent revolutions are dangerous, and disorder and terror often lead to disasters and scuffles for entire societies.

The last scene where Guevara was captured and shot was very shocking. I imagine that countless revolutionaries looked at the people and the numb army like this at the last moment. Hero's End is really touching.
