Una introduccin breve a la

pelcula

The film is set in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1967.

Argentina at that time had repressive government, although the economy was

relatively strong.

Argentina is similar to the US [and to Utica in particular] in its immigration history.

There are a LOT of Italian immigrants [to the point that they influenced the

languagevocabulary and pronunciation]. Also a lot of Eastern Europeans [Russian,

Polish], European Jews, and Middle Easterners [Syrian and Lebanese].

The stereotype of porteos [people from Buenos Aires] is arrogant, Eurocentric,

and neurotic. There are more mental health therapists per capita in BA than

anywhere in the world, and more people in therapy.

family of Spanish and Irish descent.

He was severely asthmatic but

still an excellent athlete.

He entered medical school in 1948,

but took time off in 1951 for amotorcycle trip around Latin America.

This trip awakened in him a strong

desire to work with the poor.

Ernesto worked with various groups fighting

against right-wing military dictatorships.

After fighting and losing in Guatemala, he took refuge in

Mexico. There he met up with a group that was planning

an attack on a corrupt military dictator.

His participation in this

ultimately successful attack

cemented his fate, and made

him an icon for revolutionaries

pseudo-revolutionaries andfashionistas for decades to

come,

He was killed in Bolivia in 1967.
