Carlos

La idea de la revolución es atractiva, cautivadora, y a menudo, violenta. Pero cuando se vende al mejor postor, al mejor periódico, deja de ser liderada por revolucionarios; ahora son celebridades. Porque las revoluciones las hacen las personas, no letras en un titular. Asimismo, está demostrado que las revoluciones pacíficas son más efectivas que las violentas, aunque en este caso nunca fue lo que afirmaba ser. Simple y llanamente es terrorismo. Si todos sangramos rojo, ¿por qué debemos sangrar para demostrarlo?

A spectacular feat! The filmmakers did such an incredible job crafting an epic sprawling tale of such a pathetic narcissist. Ramirez does an incredible job embodying Carlos through so much of his life and Assayas does the seemingly impossible effort of fitting that life into a fitting three acts that allow us to stew in the reality of the times and actions of Carlos's "career." I am interested in seeing how the theatrical version of this plays, and it may feel a bit more conventional as a biopic, but I wonder if a quicker paced edit may achieve the effect of how much of what this man did really was a flash in the pan. Overall, glad to have checked it out, watching this immediately after Che does also play super well as one giant tale of the rise, bastardization, and fall of this movement from the 60s to the late 80s.
