Che Day
The most keenly anticipated film of the festival begins in two hours and 25 minutes. Four hours and 28 minutes plus a break between the two films, so figure five hours. I'm going to text a mini-review of Part One (i.e, The Argentine) during this break, and probably some kind of quickie judgment after the whole thing ends sometime around 11:30 pm. But a full-on review won't happen until tomorrow morning.

I wonder, Jeff, if you have the necessary political literacy and general familiarity with Che's actual life history and with the course of Cuban Communism to deliver for your readers a review of these two films which will both make real sense and place Che Guevara in an authentic political context. Based on your previous political posts, I very much doubt it, however.

Lionsfan, there are levels of enjoyment in a movie (or any work of art like a book, song, etc.) that can include knowing about a subject's actual life or not.
Give Jeff a break. He's going to tell us if this is a good movie or not. Period.
As for "authentic political context," I don't believe that actually exists for anyone, since nothing political is ever objective and would only taint any "context."

lionsfan, I wonder if you know how much the Lions suck. Based on your handle, I doubt that you do.

So Reedy, you're saying you're only interested in whether or not you'll be entertained by the movie, not whether it has anything particularly interesting or relevant to say about history, politics, or the mythic figure Guevara presents within the overall framework of communism? Or would you think that the latter might have something to do with what would make a film like this "good" or not?

No. What I'm saying is that context (historical, literary, etc.) can create a different level of appreciation and enjoyment, but it's not the only one.
