Not Showing: Che 2

Some hereos are quite insane, they will do insane things to achieve their ultimate goal. For self, or even so, for country.

Che, as I forgot, doesn't have that name in his real name, asked Fidel that once Cuba revolution is over, he will go other South American countries to pursue the armed revolution he did for Cuba. Fidel, even he pursuaded Che to stay, agreed.

Story is Fidel announced that he received a letter from Che, stating he will leave Cuba and do some heroic act in other parts of Latin America, also said that he might be dead already. Reliquishing some of his powers in Cuba to pursue this mission.

Then he was joking, he is still alive and kicking, going to Bolivia. Bolivia has problems in their mining industry, especially to their labor force, force labor and sort of, working in harsh conditions and it affects the country as well. He went there to set up a revolution army, then he asked for a support from Lou Diamond Philipps, which is a non violent activist member which is well did not help.

After setting up the camp, unfortunately, as he go along, he was betrayed and caught by Bolivia army backed by CIA and he was executed. Sad one for my beloved hero.

Well, yeah, honestly the first one is really better than this one. But you will need to watch this of course for continuity process of the story and how Che really end his campaign. I miss the interviews at the first part, the characters involved in the first part as well and yeah, its just not very good. Not that bad though because of his adventures and purely, Benicio's supreme acting.

It is not bad because the remaining parts of this story are important even the scene which he is going to be killed. I loved how he answered the dude, asking why he believes in God even he is communist. Che answered, it is only an ideal but not really pursuing people to leave God, I pray to him and do this for the people. Then oh well, got killed.

The chic from the first 2 bourne flicks, damn, I like her! Because she speaks fluent spanish although not perfect but enough good. The mob boss from Fast Five as president of Bolivia, great part.. Hmmmmm yeah about the Fil-am Lou Diamond, although it's short but good one, it just that real dude, is annoying, scared perhaps.

Even the costumes are not that great like the first one and the pace is quite fast, the story is well delivered in the sense of finishing the story. Perhaps, it is rushed to really finished it, that's why the first one is better than this. The only thing really stands out for both films is Benicio. Great potrayal of a great revolutionary, a hero and an icon. Good film from Steven, it's not really great but good enough to back up the first. Story wise.

Indeed, he serves the right to play that dude, but I was thinking Javier Bardem will be a great one or I was suprised the back up actor was Val Kilmer which I don't know how he will do it. hehe

Perhaps, Benicio is enough and perfect!

"Hasta la Victoria Siempre"

I love that shirt with that phrase and pic of Che, used by RATM. Until now, I don't have that one. =(
