Highly inaccurate on the accounts of what really happened during Guevara's early life.

An eye-opener. Wonderfully done, funny and a must see for those interested in Latin American history.

beautiful ly done film, but seems a bit naive and heavy handed in showing the "insights" achieved by the protagonist.

Hot! Don`t miss this story which shows the path to becoming a whole person. Not asleep like most youth today!

Simple yet sincere - I loved it. The Latin American landscape through the movie is breath-taking.

Lovely, touching film. The only fault I can find is the occassional over-exaltation of Ernesto`s character(by director Salles) into a demi-god of sorts...

Very thought provoking! Young people are unfortunatly no longer moved into action by conditions in the world around them. We would have a better world if they were.

I though this film was amazing, cenematography and all. The only thing is, when will they learn not to put white subtitles on light background.

This is a fabulous movie. The movie portrays how Che`s trip in south america leads him persue the revolution in Cuba. The best part is that is does not depit any polotical judgement. The director simply tells you the fact how Che becomes more and more determined to call for a revolution; and at the same time, you can understand why such a revolution is needed. With the help of brillant photography, every implicit emotion and feeling are expressed in a sophistcated manner. One of the best independent movies ever made about Che.

It is a great movie that shows without censorship the story of a great revolutionary. I especially liked the end when the cinematographer introduced a short text about the death of CHE and all responsible for his death including the CIA. I would like to see a sequel to this greta epic showing the Cuban revolution, CHE`s role in it and the real truth about WHY Cuba needed this revolutionary change (i.e. american exploitation, subjugation and imperialism that did not care about the people-as they never do-only about the profits). Thank you Andy

Great story and fantastic cinematography

This movie pastes a personality and soul onto the Cuban Revolution. Martyrs start out just like the rest of us. They love, laugh, and dream, but in the end they posses a spirit and that becomes contagious. For anyone who has ever traveled to Cuba, this movie can bring you a step closer to understanding.

Fabulous movie - gives a romantic and realistic view of South American in the 50`s. Interesting the way that humour was used effectively to lighten a very dark topic. Actor`s were well chosen to portray these famous figures. Will watch this over and over again.

That was a very good movie. He was a nice person and in these days, its very hard to become like him. Even if you want to help people the world doesn`t letyou, it became money power.The power doesn`t belong to the society. The movie teaches people how they consider other that are not on their level. Man I cried when he swimmed to go on the other part of the river, risk his life for the power. Good movie forever.

It was a great movie that portrayed how Che Guevara became who he was. From an ordinary, but brilliant, passionate and empathetic medical student came Che Guevara, a revolutionary leader. The movie was great also because it showed a human spirit that can conquer the limits of our beings. For instance, Che Guevara was often sick physically, and he was just a student. However, with what he had in his hearts, he conquered what could be considered barriers in his life. I don`t know much about Che Guevara and I am not into politics, but the movie itself and Che Guevara viewed as a human being were great.

The best movie I have seen so far this year, long live Chie and long live communist.
October 20, 2004
Great film, leaves you thinking long after the movie is over. Plus, it was hilarious.
October 16, 2004
a powerful movie that sweeps you away. appeals at so many levels; a buddy movie, social drama, historical relevance, a travelogue, triumph of the human spirit...something to think about long after it finished. like many north americans i am sadly ignorant of south american history...this movie makes me want to learn more, and learn more about the man himself.

Inspiring, peacfull and honest. A movie about the inoccent and noble beginnings of a great leader and his ideals. Today`s politicians could learn a couple things. Wonderfully independant!

best movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!
October 05, 2004
Best movie I`ve ever seen !
October 03, 2004
I can`t get it out of my head!!! An instant classic I`m sure. - I know i`ll be buying this movie when it hits the stores! I was even surprised to find that it was as funny as it was enjoyable. For once I didn`t know when or how it would end. A constantly evolving movie. It`s never "over". Impossibe not to get drawn in and swept away. A must see!

One of the best movies you will ever see! It perfectly describes the countless amounts of injustice in the world caused by capitalism! viva la victoria siempre!
October 02, 2004
Excellent movie, however all in Spanish with english subtitles
October 02, 2004
The movie was a good depiction of his early years, and why he became and believed so much in a perfect united world, of course we know in the later years his ideals didn`t totally fit the society, however for what it`s worth it gives you a better understanding of how divided those countries were and still are with their natives. The movie is worth seeing for the historical value and if you like south and central america as he goes through Argentina chile peru columbia and venezuela

I was inspired by this film. It reminded me of how insensative we armericans are to the beauty and humanity of latin america.
