Nearly 40 years after Che Guevara’s death, Che chic continues to attract adolescent rebels in droves, few of whom seem to care much who the Che-in-a-beret on their T-shirts was, or whom he killed; it’s enough that he was a cool countercultural dude from South America. Of late, the myth of Che Guevara has even gotten a boost from Hollywood. There’s an upcoming biopic from Steven Soderbergh, hot on the heels of the successful 2004 movie version of “The Motorcycle Diaries” — a lushly filmed chronicle of the young, earnest Che’s shoestring trip across South America, in which he awakens to the world’s injustices, one village at a time.
