Hollywood is doing TWO Che Guevara movies. Ain't that just wunnerful? Che, you will recall, was both a murderer and humanitarian. A skilled politician and a revolutionary hero (Just ask some Hollywood elites). You are shocked, shocked that a murdering communist would be the subject of a movie? What the hell should we expect from the same people who refused to give Elia Kazan an award for excellence back in 1998 but instead gave their award to.....sit down....this will choke you up...that great humanitarian and Hollywood Darling, Leni Riefenstahl. Now Leni was great, she had total slavish support of the Nazi Party who supplied a gazillion cameramen for both Triumph of the Will and Berlin Olympics and if you have 1,500 cameramen all paid for by the Nazi Party it's hard to screw up. The Olympic doc is actually a total contrivance; she looped footage, flipped negatives, and used various other techniques to present dives that never happened, jumps ditto, and switched broad jumpers on two occasions---all of which she has basically bragged about. The Two Che movies will be an ode to horrible Hollywood people doing horrible movies for horrible audiences. Big bow to Libertas....
