This movie was so long that they had to split it into two parts!Unless you are pretty familiar with Cuban history & the life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, you probably won't understand a lot of this film. For example, one of the people in the film is named Raúl, but they never explain that he is Fidel Castro's brother, so the importance of his role in the Revolution is completely lost on the unsuspecting viewer. Many historical scenes are recreated like that, without context, without explanation.
I don't plan to see Part Two.
Interesting that one of the actors, credited as "Dinner Guest #1", is named Pablo Guevara. After a short Google search, I found nothing that links him to "Che". Coincidence?
Also, René Lavan from Azúcar Amarga is credited as "Cuban Diplomat #2". You have to look hard to find him, but he's there.
