After watching 4 hours of Che, I kinda want to drop my career as a doctor in about 10 years to become a socialist revolutionary too or maybe marry Benicio Del Toro.

"""Christ brings freedom: when confronting him, we become aware of our own freedom. And does not, mutatis mutandis, the same hold true for Che Guevara? The photos showing him under arrest in Bolivia, surrounded by government soldiers, have a weird Christological aura, as that, when, moments prior to death, the executioner's pistol already aimed at him, the hand holding it trembling, Guevera looked at him and said: "Aim well. You are about to kill a man" -- his version of ecce home... And, indeed, is the basic message of Guevera not precisely this: the message of how, in and through all his failures, he persisted, he went on? One can imagine him thinking in the desperate last days in Bolivia a version of the last words of Samuel Beckett's The Unnameable: "in the silence, you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on." In an unsurpassable irony of history, after the triumph of the Cuban revolution, everything he did was a failure -- the dismal failure of his economic policies as the Cuban minister of economy (after a year, food had to be rationed...), the failure of his Congo adventure, the failure of his last mission in Bolivia; however, all these "human, all too human" failures somehow fade into the background, the backdrop against which the contours of his properly over-human (or, why not inhuman) figure appear, confirming Badiou's motto that the only way to be truly human is to exceed ordinary humanity, tending towards the dimension of the inhuman."""
