Che, a mentally disturbed doctor who adopted a God complex. He took the lives of people he disagreed with.
From hating to eliminating isn't a large jump for the typical leftist.
The commercials for this movie irritate me, I didn't plan on seeing it.
Was he an md?
After Che had reliably murdered all of Castro's domestic opposition, of course. Che was the most useful of all of Castro's idiots as well as the most vicious
che was evil.
certainly not worthy of the adoration found on college campi.
b
Che Guevara = communist mass murder hunted down and killed by US Special Forces...
and 
, only lamer.
I found an old interview with Mad Mike Hoare who fought him in the Congo, and he said that Che literally had no idea what he was doing. They had intercepted all of his radio communication and simply were able to ambush them at any time they poked their commie heads out of the bushes.
When I saw the trailer I had to laugh, because for the apes to have taken over the 2nd amendment would have had to been overturned.
Plus given the amount of sheer numbers of humans vs. Apes, the apes wouldn’t have lasted very long.
Yes, he graduated from medical school, but he never practiced.
I bet this director wasn`t talking like this around the studio. Considering the 2-part mega-bomb Steve Soderbergh bio of Guevera that came out a couple years back, Hollywood likes to talk about Che, but they still want all that nice capitalism filling their bank accounts.
Darn, I had been looking forward to seeing this one. Another movie ruined by Hollywood ideals...
Never bought the premises of the Ape storyline.
1. No rational explanation why we have so many apes of all kinds. We don’t do that level of experimentation and science studies on THAT MANY apes. Why we’d use them as servants or work animals - again, no real world reasons why.
2. The takeover of the entire planet by the apes. THe nukes wipe out almost all the humans, who are still way mentally advanced, but the apes somehow thrive in the radioactive aftermath?
3. The whole ‘everything goes the apes way’ in the overthrow scenes. Humans can’t win even one one on one fight with vastly better weapons and training despite not being physically as strong as apes. Leaps and falls that these animals would not survive, they survive. Too much suspension of willful disbelief required.
4. The idea that we have to nuke the whole planet to get the apes. Back in the 70s the idea of small tactical nukes was not thought of and wouldn’t have required turning the planet into a mess and destroying civilization.
5. No real reason for humans to be so mean to apes. Further no real reason why EVERYONE is so blind in underestimating the apes’ abilities - storyline requires it but it’s unrealistic. Why the very people in charge of geting them to work on things and get things done would see them as so stupid and a source of abuse, don’t make sense. Unless mom was raped by an ape or something.
6. Always thought this storyline was a thin veneer for slavery/black uprising and revolution against whitey. Don’t get me wrong I like Chuck Heston and the first movie, but as they made more movies, prequels, etc, seems like that’s what it is.
