| Yeah? Well your post is the most tedious, self-indulgent one I've ever
read. Go watch "Collateral Damage" starring Arni :D

Interestingly this movie has been very popular with the mainstrem
public, even making the top 10 one week. I suppose it's good that the
general public is watching foreign films, but why must it be this one.

| I thought it was OK. I didn't really hold my attention the whole way
through the film though. The ending was not as interesting as the actual
trip. I actually thought the biochemist (Alberto Grando) was the more
interesting of the two characters. "Che" was a bit too serious for me. I
haven't read a lot about Che Guevara, so perhaps you would get more out of
the film if you were more familiar with his life. I guess you saw his
experiences with poverty and oppression on the trip and how they might have
influenced his later "career path" ;-)
The cinematography was very well done and there was some amazing South
American scenery.
2.5/5

It went on about 1/2 an hour too long for my liking. I think the director must
have realised this towards the end when the long journey down the river on the
final leg of the trip was skimmed over very quickly (either that, or nothing
very interesting happened) and the next thing you saw was them saying good-bye
at the airport.....
