CHE: PART ONE/ PART TWO - REVIEW BY BRIAN JAMES
I just finished watching Steven Soderbergh's four-hour biopic Che starring Benicio Del Toro and Ive been inspired to write a review. The movie is currently in theatres in very limited release but if you have On Demand you can purchase it from the Sundance Channel. The film was originally set up to be released as two separate films. The first half being called The Argentine and the second half being called Guerilla. The two final versions have been combined as one and are being shown in theatres with a half-hour intermission under the single title Che. If you purchase it from On Demand you will have to pay separately for both halves of the movie.
The first half of the film is based on Ches published diaries Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War and covers the period from 1955 through 1959. Its also intercut with scenes from his visit to the United Nations in New York in 1964 where he spoke on behalf and acted as diplomat for the Cuban people. Most of the first half takes place in the jungles as Che and his guerillas make there way through Cuba to Havana securing city after city.
The second half of the film focuses on Ches time spent in Bolivia and is based off his unfinished diaries officially published as The Bolivian Diary. This second half of the film focuses on the periods from 1965 through his assassination in Bolivia in 1967. Like the first half, a majority of the second half takes place in the jungles. The scenery is broken up with interactions in the Bolivian villages and scenes involving the Bolivian government discussing what to do about Ches activities in the country.
There is no mention of Ches history or early years in either of the two halves. The movie strictly covers the time he spent as a guerilla fighter during and after the Cuban Revolution. In order to understand why Che is doing was he is doing its important to understand his history. I recommend reading the books and watching the documentaries but if you just want to keep it cinematic then check out Walter Salless 2004 movie The Motorcycle Diaries. The Motorcycle Diaries. might as well be the considered the official prequel to Che. It covers his early years as young doctor traveling through Central America and gives light into how and why he became who he became.
Benicio Del Toro is the best thing about this film. No other actor could have done the part justice and the fact that they cast an actor of Latin-American decent makes the performance that much more authentic. 85% of the film is in Spanish with English subtitles also making the movie as authentic possible.
Ive been anticipating the release of this movie since I first heard about its production two years ago. I am an admirer of Che Guevera. He encouraged education. He was a doctor. A teacher. A writer. An avid reader. A diplomat. A humanitarian. And most importantly, he wasnt afraid to fight and die for the causes he believed in. His story is controversial. He participated in assassinations and has been called a murderer. He studied the ideas of Karl Marx and has been officially marked as a communist. But he cared. He cared for the people being taken advantage by their governments. He fought to make life better for the forgotten. He promoted the building of schools and hospitals in lands that had none. He encouraged the beaten and broken to stand up and fight to be heard. He inspired the workers to strike. And he encouraged hope and possibility.
In closing, this is a movie that needed to be made and its a movie that should be watched.

BUKOWSKI: BORN INTO THIS - REVIEW BY BRIAN JAMES
"When your parents begin to like your work, thats when you know its getting bad." - Charles Bukowski
Charles Henry Bukowski is single-handedly responsible for releasing poetry from the clutches of the academes. He brought poetry back to the streets in a way that the Beats only wished they could. His work has spawned generations of copycats and to this day, no writer has been able to take his place.
Whether writing a semi-autobiographical novel about his tortured childhood, or compiling hundreds of poems about the complexity of the male/ female relation, Bukowski wrote from the heart. He wrote what he knew about and he wrote about the life he was given and the life he lived. And it was never pretty. His work was as ugly as the man himself. First impression were bad with him. "He didnt wear clothes well."
Bukowski was king of the skid row poets. He drank with as much passion as he wrote. And he fucked enough ugly women to make Bill Clinton jealous.
He had an absolute hatred for rules and regulations that can be seen everywhere throughout his work. He despised traditionally structured poetry and had no time for metaphors. He wrote it like he saw it and in the 74 years of his life, he managed to vomit more words onto a page than Michael Jackson fingered little boy butthole.
Bukowski credits his German-born father as being his single most influence as a writer. Beaten on a daily basis with a razor decorated belt, he considered the abuse as the perfect literary training. "When you get the shit kicked out of you everyday, you tend to say what you want."
Born Into This is the definitive Bukowski documentary. It features dozens of rare footage with not only Bukowski himself, but his family, friends, loved-ones, and admirers. Like most documentaries, this story is told through archived video footage, photographs, and interviews from the people who stood beside him throughout his so-called career. Fuckin A! This is another one I can watch a hundred times and never get sick of. Highly recommended - but only as a companion piece. READ HIS BOOKS!
