All the pages would have skidmarks on them and maybe a oil or fuel drippings on them, not worth making a movie over, guys.

I just saw it...

Very interesting movie. Walter Salles did an awesome job directing this movie and even if you don't agree with the marxist politics, you will most likely enjoy the film. It makes you have an urge to visit south america.

I love how some right wingers are goin nuts about this "leftist propaganda", the "cult of che" and how there's going to be another che movie starring benicio del toro. :)

I'm not accusing you of anything, I actually thought you were joking. Che was known to personally execute people who were against his cause with his own .32 pistol. I read something about him killing someone under his command who stole food in order to set an example, i think its rhetorical nonsence that some right winger cooked up.

Most people who admire him (not the trendy dumasses who were the shirts, buying and selling those things are going against everything Che stood for)and are well educated will admit he wasn't exactly a saint and had a lot of blood on his hands. There aren't too many well known historical political figures that don't...

Im not big on marxist politics, but I admire Che's ambition to end social injustice in south america and abroad.
