elderesek This is the prime example of a great idea executed by a moron. The story is pretty cool but photography, art and even casting is awful... I mean, why is the director's girlfriend playing two different roles anyway, if she's such a bad actress? She even looks to the camera at one point! Having near impossible locations, this foolish attempt of film wastes them. For example, a special permission was granted to film inside the Casa de Bolívar (Colombia President's quarters) but it was wasted in shot from 50 feet away. The Quinta de Bolívar (Bolívar's favorite house, now a museum) is one of the most emblematic colonial buildings in Bogotá, but shot in the night with a terrible photography looks like crap. Amparo Grisales is terrible in a double-sided role, since she's far from a good actress. Art is average, since they ask the audience to believe in a world without detail.In fewer words, although the screenplay is a masterpiece, the overall film in near enjoyable due lack of talent in the directing department.

pywalkye2 It's a great work, each character well managed, and a very good direction. Also the sound and photography are well done. I feel that the time I spend seeing this movie was great. I have seen it many times and in each view I found new lectures in the characters. Is a good film and a fine production. I recommend it. This film has a historic view which refers to Bolivar's life and his beloved Manuelita, who some writer said she was the Liberator of the Liberator, an extraordinary woman that twice saved Bolivar's life. Also in the same film scenes we can observed some of the problems this wonderful country (Colombia) has with the "guerrillas" and their points of view. The writers made a very good work.

felipev84 Based on a real story, this awesome film is pure magic realism. It is one of those films that are able to mix tragedy and humor, something characteristic of Latin America. Being Colombian I think I find in this movie a vivid portrait of the reality of my country; it depicts the dreams of our liberator, the dreams the common people have about him, and the realities of an amazing and contradictory country. The humor in this film is not just about simple jokes, it is a social criticism. Perhaps the only thing that could make this movie a bad one is the viewer. Either if you are an expert of the Colombian conflict or someone who has no idea about it, I definitely recommend `Bolívar soy yo.'

gustavlem I like this movie its funny and has great Colombian actors, I enjoyed Robinson Diaz as the actor that wants to be Bolivar and follow his dreams of peace and union in a world that doesn't care about justice anymore. Amparo Grisales always beautiful, Camargo as the president that just care about his image instead of the country problems. Funny as people treat Robinson as Bolivar maybe looking for a hope a "Liberator" somebody they can believe and trust.
