Editorial Reviews

In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto Korda Díaz
snapped a photo of Ernesto Che Guevara. Eight years later, the image exploded throughout Europe and Latin America, where it became a symbol of protest and dissent. Today, the photograph remains one of the most dominant icons of the twentieth century. CHEVOLUTION is a film about a single photograph, and how this portrait, with its enigmatic gaze, became a symbol of countless visions for change.

1.0 out of 5 stars Murderous Fiend, December 19, 2011

This review is from: Chevolution (Amazon Instant Video)

This Marxist, murdering thug was responsible for anywhere between 400 and 2500 deaths via firing squads during the Cuban revolution. This film tries to make Guevara out to be this angelic savior of the downtrodden by overthrowing a corrupt administration and installing a nirvana in Cuba where everyone has everything they need. This couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, everything this pig attempted he failed. Look at the Garden of Eden he left behind in Cuba.

The people in this film are at best delusional in their assessment of Guevara. In an attempt to re-write history they even go so far as to compare the corpse of Guevara to Christ! I almost choked. But everyone agrees that the image of Guevara was to be shared by all as a symbol of cooperation that spits in the eye of capitalism. That is until Guevara and Korda died. Then Korda's heiress and daughter decided to err on the side of capitalism and copyright the image. Ironic, isn't it? This whole film is a left wing, Marxist puff piece by those in desperate need of a hero where none exists. I suggest if you watch this to follow up by doing your own research to see who Guevara really was in life.

I really enjoyed this video. I first rented it on NetFlix. Had to buy it as it is a very interesting story of how one man and one picture influenced so many people in so many countries.

It's about time this DVD has been released. I saw the documentary a year or so ago at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC. I didn't think I would like it, but at the end I loved it. Been looking forward to it on DVD for a while.
