Read the book a few years back and thought it was pretty good, and now i've just watched the film and thought it was actually more enjoyable.
In short, the direction and photography was very gritty and real...They could've opted for a much more stylistic approach (ala ridley scott) but instead panned on the hardships of the landscapes as opposed to the pure beauty...
..I honestly can't see how half of the cast were actually actors, for instance, the inca people..they were just too damn real..this is a real credit to the film.
Of course there'll be some exaggerations to Ernesto's character but it is hard to believe, after seeing some of the most touching and humanitarian effects revealed thru his journey, that he grew into a ruthless revolutionary, is that a good thing or bad, i am undecided...I know his causes for revolt were against injustice and depravation but so too was Ghandi's..
..but whatever a very good film, I recommend if you've not already seen it.
