El Che y The Motorcycle Diaries, in a reassessment of the Sixties' most enduring icon, from The Guardian /Observer:
'Ironically, Che's life has been emptied of the meaning he would have wanted it to have,' asserts Jorge Castañeda, author of Compañero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara . 'Whatever the left might think, he has long since ceased to be an ideological and political figure.' Castañeda insists, though, that Che still possesses 'an extraordinary relevance. He's a symbol of a time when people died heroically for what they believed in. People don't do that any more.'

(There's another Che-based movie in the works, a Benicio Del Toro vehicle helmed by Steven Soderbergh, plus Javier Bardem that I adore :-)
