    I plan to watch it soon. I’m very ready

    Does it cover any of this time before Cuba? Or just goes right into it?

      It does show a little before cuba but not much. You've probably heard about the motorcycle diaries that gets into his early days. That one doesn't have too much communist talk but it's still a good movie.

    I saw them and I enjoyed them. They were about as good as could be expected from an American production. They could have sold the need for the revolution a bit more.

      That's true, they didn't really get into that. You kinda see it with the illiteracy and the fact that people had never seen a doctor in their life but it was just like subtle hints.

        Which I thought was a real missed opportunity because the scenes depicting the revolution didn't feel as righteous as they should have, it felt more like a dry retelling of events.

      I love benicio and I was glad to see a movie of that quality where communism was portrayed positively.

          Hell yea, I loved his performance. Gael garcia plays che in the fidel movie but I can't imagine him in that roll. Need to check out fidel next.
