El Che on Film
Re: On the Road With Young Che
If The Motorcycle Diaries(2004) is anything near as well made as was director Walter Salles's Central do Brasil (1998) , it'll be a film worth watching, regardless of its sinister protagonist.
Several years ago, when a leaned a bit further to the left, I read the hagiographic Ernesto Guevara, también conocido como el Che:
This was one of the most interesting biographies I've ever read. Called by Jean-Paul Sartre "the most complete human being of our age," El Che was an iconic figure of the Twentieth Century who embraced a deeply twisted atheistic philosphy. He turned a blind eye to and even participated in much evil, and placed ideology above reason. Sartre was probably correct, but not in the way he intended; his statement can be read not as praise for a man, but as a condemnation of "our age."
Gael García Bernal, driving, and Rodrigo de la Serna in Walter
Salles's film "The Motorcycle Diaries."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
