  • Benicio Del Toro has admitted that he was lucky to be offered the opportunity to play Che Guevara.
    The 41-year-old won best actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his lead role in Che, but he claimed he wasn't necessarily expecting an Oscar nomination.
    "I just got lucky, you know. My guess (about the forthcoming awards) is as good as yours. Why did I have to play him? I don't know," Benicio admitted.

    Che was a revolutionary who believed that the poor and the opressed should stand up for themselves against corporate imperialism....but I guess he couldn't say that on corporate TV.
    Yes, he was a dreamer and an idealist...who actually had the balls to act upon his ideals....

    I'm not sure it's wise to brush off an entire person's legacy due to the fact that he executed war criminals, who were murderers themselves. Many argue American soldiers are murderers for being in Iraq and Afghanistan where children are constantly killed. But is it wise to brush their existence and thoughts from the page because of this? I'm fairly sure Che did dream, he was not mindless, whether his dreams or how he tried to accomplish them were good or bad is another matter.

      here's a little quote from a letter he sent his father after he killed Eutimio Guerra point blank shot to the temple "I'd like to confess, Papa, at that moment i discovered that I really liked killing" after that he got promoted to chief executioner... he was Castros Himmler 14,000 executions in the first year..
      In 1958 Cuba's inflation rate was 1.4% compared to 2.73 in the US.. Cuban Peso was interchangeable with the US dollar. in 1959 when Castro appointed Ernesto to Minister of industries it took him 5 Years to destroy the economy and infrastructure that the Russians gave Castro an ultimatum.. Che goes or we stop subsidizing..
      So next time do some fucking homework pinko... the world doesn't revolve around fantasy.
      that's what pisses off the commies the most... in their minds communist economies should be destroying capitalism.. but doesn't seem to work out so they create imaginary reasons why communism always does the exact opposite of what it claims to achieve.

      Bry back Man the propaganda is strong with you. Concentration camps? lol. You mean agricultural work camps for those who refused to serve in the military ( or gays that couldn't because it was illegal)
      Cuban society had been strongly homophobic for so long as there had been public awareness of a homosexual community, and the Revolution, though promising progress in almost every sector of society for almost every repressed group, did nothing to combat discrimination against LGBT Cubans for the first two decades of its rule, and the government under Fidel Castro even worsened things in some regards, by decrying homosexuality as bourgeois and decadent and enforcing new anti-homosexual laws. The prospects of LGBT Cubans were worsened after it was discovered that several groups of gay men had entered the pay of the CIA in counterrevolutionary activities, a crime that was unfortunately generalized to all gay Cubans by many.
      The Cuban government required all men to serve a term in the military, but those who would not serve (Jehovah's Witnesses, conscientious objectors) and those who were not allowed to serve (gay men) instead did their terms of service in agricultural camps, as a part of "Military Units to Aid Production" (UMAP). The idea was for non-combatants to still strengthen the revolution, domestically. Things quickly got out of hand and these became downright abusive, a mark of the repression LGBT Cubans faced even after the Revolution. Those serving in these domestic military camps were beaten, worked long hours, and, for all their service, were viewed with the mar of the "decadent". To describe these as "concentration camps" would be going too far, as their primary function was as a replacement for mandatory military service, but they sometimes got dangerously close to that categorization.
      Around three years after these camps were established, several concerned guards informed Fidel Castro of the abuses taking place within these camps. Curious, Fidel went under cover as a gay man into one of them at night, and revealed himself as a guard was about to beat him the next morning. Following Castro's visit, and the undercover visits of 100 heterosexual Communist Youth following Fidel's example, the UMAP camps were shut down. However, new camps, under a similar purpose, were established. Though they did not reach the levels of abuse of the UMAP camps, they were often still unequally harsh in treatment compared to what faced those serving in normal positions in the military.
      While the idea of the domestic support division of the military wasn't to repress gay men, that was certainly the effect. At the time, Castro said that, while the camps were out of hand, they were better than what gay men would suffer in the military. However, he has since taken personal responsibility for the horrid treatment of LGBT Cubans at the hands of the cult of machismo. The camps are long since gone. In 1979, Cuba's slow march forward in the arena of LGBT rights began. Today, gay Cubans do serve in the military, there are more equal rights, sex change operations are covered by universal medical care, and transgender Cubans have been elected to the government. www.politicalworld.org/showthread.php?14761-Was-Che-Guevara-a-murderer-homophobe-racist
      14,000 executions? Where is your source for that bullshit?
      Following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Guevara was assigned for a time to oversee the prison at La Cabaña. His duties involved overseeing the executions of those convicted of war crimes at the prison. Because of this duty, Guevara is sometimes called the "Butcher of La Cabaña" in the Cuban ex-pat community. The revolutionary government claimed to be basing its trials for war crimes upon the international precedent set by the Nuremberg Trials. The process consisted of two tribunals, one of which tried civilians and one of which tried members of Batista's military. Only the latter could order an execution for those convicted of war crimes. Guevara's role, like that of governors in the United States, consisted of reviewing the verdicts, offering pardons, and setting execution dates. Guevara remained assigned to this role for several months, during which he oversaw between 55 and 105 executions.

    Well firstly, Benicio if he had actually studied 7 years would have spoken better. He seems extremely skittish about putting out the real word of the man on a piece of trash news studio. Perhaps they told him before the interview to keep it stupid. You know, something Latengocomoburro would appreciate. Like wow! 7 years education to say he was a man of the times! Way to go Benicio! So anyhow. Back to reality. If you had actually learned from outside the dumbed-down school room of America, a real education would show you the reality of the world you live in. One that stands to collect heroes and pit them against the evil of the contemporary world. That including colonialism which enslaves some and imperialism which enslaves the rest. Now about Che! Something Benicio must not have learned in the 7 years of study. Ernesto fought with his life in danger most of his adult life with the words of honour and freedom on his tongue. He beat the numerical odds in combat because his soldiers believed in him and not because they were paid like the American Military Machine (which loses when confronted with even odds). If you understood what honour was and if you were educated than you might see the reason behind this man's fight. He quoted Communist leaders although he was more a socialist and even more a humanitarian libertarian which modern day America has lost all hope of becoming. He warned about "the cage", the manipulation, and the fraud. Your parents were easy. Sorry. But on a good not for Benicio, he's a great actor and makes Che come alive!

    I think Benicio did a great job handling those questions. I do agree that his morals have lived on but his methods were (and still are) obsolete. Cuba is a product of Castro. Che would probably disagree with what Castro was doing after his death. He learned to be a mean military man from Castro but before all those revolutions he tried to start, he was a lowly physician who believed that what was going on with the poor people of latin america was wrong. The last part may be up for dispute, but in a way, Che put a check on Capitalism's dirty side. We all hate our spoiled power hungry bosses who see others as a number instead of a person. I'm not a true advocate for Che, but I do agree with some of his ideas. Again, not all.

    So your saying everything takes capital to build, right? So anything that has Che in it takes capital, some people wear the shirt and dont even know who he his, but the people that do, buying the shirt is the only way to show support for him, i know its ironic.

    On this days presidents kill for oil, money, power, and we do not care or we do not even notice this... Che killed for justice, and for his ideals. He was a dreamer, and i believe as latinos we must be proud of him. It is true that in most Latin American countries the are two classes of people the richest and the poorest. Thanks che because you stood up for the poorest. Che es simplemente demasido para las mentes de algunos!

    I love listening to this interview...you get to hear him discuss this movie at little more length than in other interviews.....I think that in 7yrs of researching this figure...he new more about Che than he let on......I think he really did a good job in staying neutral about the person that he portrayed in the movie....as he should.....he maintained a distance from the characters beliefs....I like that...he would be very interesting man to talk to....

    the man was an argentine doctor. it's what he went to school for, and it was his life before he decided he had to try and change the world. you may disagree with his politics, but in the end, his goal was to help people. that was consistent throughout his life.

  • @avaAVAava
    @avaAVAava Před 12 lety +4

    I agree with you. After researching him for 7 years, he should be an expert of "Che" history - yet he doesn't share anything of consequence. He just seems to be B.S.ing. I think maybe Benicio is just not very articulate. However, he is a damn good actor and I couldn't image anyone else being able to play Che Guevara as well.

    I totally agree with all of you out there. Either Benecio was completely drunk, or he just didn't know what he was talking about. In another interview, he sounded very eloquent and talked about Che in detail. Not sure if this was after this embarrassing interview that he did that, but here he is totally shitty.

  • @EuSeiT
    @EuSeiT Před 13 lety +1

    Benicio should discuss this from the "deep character":
    "To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail … This is a revolution. And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.” Guevara
    “If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba), we would have fired them against the heart of the US, including New York City. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims.” Guevara

    This movie, like "The Motorcycle Diaries", does not go into any detail of the monster that was Che Guevara. He executed dozens of his own men suspecting them of being spies without any proof, he punished his own men by not letting them eat for 3-6 days for minor infractions. His own men avoided him because they were affraid of him. He was rough with his treatment of the wounded, and , on a personal not, his thugs killed my first girlfriend's uncle, who had no political leanings.

    if that's the case then the guerrillas Castro had killed far less civilians then the US military during Nam or even the Korean war.
    actually Che was involved with barrack raids and the battle of Santa Clara, were he faced MG fire as well as sniper fire. Eisenhower didn't do anything in WW2 on the battle field as far as i can tell you. so calling Che a pussy would be like saying that every field medic that died in D-Day was a Pussy, that my friend is wrong.

      Same thing. At least according to Marx. He was a dedicated Marxist Leninist, and ML is a political philosophy that seeks to create and establish communism...

    However, the stealing of shirts would influence the means of production offered by capitalism (albeit, to an infinitesimal degree), in that it neglects the powers that be the profit used to make the tee-shirt. Of course, if this method truly did impact the market in any meaningful way -- and here's where I fully acknowledge your point -- the wages for the workers who made the shirt would decrease tremendously. Stealing one shirt, though, is a $10 meal you could buy a hobo. God bless.

Not saying socialism= no private property, but it would've been extremely more regulated if it was socialism.
    He wanted to recreate that great past of Germany and put race/class above all else. All of this contradicts him being socialist.
