Che: Part One2008

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Che: Part One comes across as a near-hagiographic ode to revolutionary-left ideology, filtering history through a very modern, ideological lens. It sacrifices nuance for message, and if you’re looking for pluralism, good luck.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Che: Part One focuses so intently on revolutionary ideology and romanticizes Guevara that it sometimes loses sight of nuanced character development. The film appears more interested in iconography than messy humanity, sugarcoating the radical edges for a particular lens.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional pillars, such as religion, family, and national identity, are mostly sidelined or painted as outdated obstacles compared to the revolutionary cause. Masculinity and authority are reframed through a very modern, activist lens, sometimes feeling like a deliberate revision.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative views to the revolutionary message rarely get fair hearing. Critics of Guevara are generally portrayed as reactionaries or villains, and there’s little room for honest debate or diverse worldviews, just a celebration of one ideological side.
