This movie is just awesome.  Maybe part of it is that I can relate to a lot of what happens in the movie, but I think most of you would really enjoy it.

It's about Che Guevara, but I didn't even realize it until the end because the movie isn't really about his involvement revolution....  it's just about a road trip he took with a friend across South America.  Overall, it's just a great story, great acting, great camera work, and the scenery is absolutely stunning.

so i need to borrow this from my sister i guess...
saw that she had bought it the other day.

[Lord Nepenthean]

It's the story of when I went to Peru.  That may or may not have had something to do with her buying it.  I can hook you up with the movie if you like.

che guevara was a real asshole. Thats why I dont want to watch the movie...

[Lord Nepenthean]

I knew somebody would say that.  Seriously, though, it's not really about Che's involvement in the Cuban revolution.  If you leave that out of the picture (since it isn't the focus of this movie at all), it's really a great movie.
