Hour of the Furnaces - The Choice - English Subs

The final segment from the first part of Solanas and Getino's 1968 Third Cinema classic. This legendary underground film criticized neo-colonialism and called for the overthrow of the Argentine government. Intended to be a film which "the System finds indigestible," La Hora was made and distributed outside of the commercial film industry. Because watching the film was illegal, the film transcended bourgeois entertainment: "We also discovered that every comrade who attended such showings did so with full awareness that he was infringing the System's laws and exposing his personal security to eventual repression. This person was no longer a spectator; on the contrary, from the moment he decided to attend the showing, from the moment he lined himself up on this side by taking risks and contributing his living experience to the meeting, he became an actor, a more important protagonist than those who appeared in the films." Have you reflected today on everything that Saint Che sacrificed for you?

To get a sense of how wild this film is, you really should watch this clip: "Hour of the Furnaces - Dependence - English Subtitles!" or this clip: "Hour of the Furnaces - Ideological Warfare - English Subs!" first.

It's the end of part I of the film. The freeze frame of Che's face is a legendary ending. You're supposed to look into Che's face and reflect on his sacrifices for you. (Kind of idolatrous isn't it?) And in doing so you'll stare death in the face, like Che did; so you'll be willing to sacrifice yourself for the revolution. How much you wanna bet that posting this video just got the FBI to open a file on me?

"This epic before us is going to be written by the hungry Indian masses, the peasants without land, the exploited workers. An epic that will be carried forward by our peoples, mistreated and scorned by imperialism; our people, unreckoned with until today, who are now beginning to shake off their slumber. Imperialism considered us a weak and submissive flock; and now it begins to be terrified of that flock; in whom Yankee monopoly capitalism now sees its gravediggers.”

— Che Guevara

@phreakiphred "I have yet to find a single credible source pointing to a case where Che executed 'an innocent'. Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder. I should add that my research spanned five years, and included anti-Castr­o Cubans among the Cuban-Amer­ican exile community in Miami and elsewhere.­"

CHE = Hero, leader, icon, father, son, husband, rebel, soldier, writer, intellectual, doctor, politician, dentist, poet, statesman, military theorist, economist, guerrilla, teacher, diplomat, general, warrior, defender of the poor, inspirational legend, and current saint in Bolivia.

... Those right-wing turds who bash him because of ignorance, do it out of jealousy. They wish they could be 1/100th the complete human being that he was.

[4Barbudos]

Che Guevara embodies the ideals of justice, equality, freedom, truth, and bravery.

He is a martyr to the cause of world liberation from the shackles of capital slavery. The slave plantations were replaced by the corporation and Guevara gave his life to wake up the huddled masses of humanity.

CHE will live on for all eternity and will reside in the hearts of billions until this world breathes its last breath.
