The movie didn't glorify him or make him seem like a perfect human being. What I mean is that the movie didn't feel like Bolivar was perfect or untouchable. It didn't seem like everyone loved Bolivar or that everything fell into place easily for him. An example of this is when Bolivar was driving people away from Caracas. As Bolivar and the people who followed him left Caracas, a lady fell. Bolivar reached out to help her get up and move again, but something interesting happened. The lady realized who he was and spat directly in his face saying: "My children died in this war" and that "under Spanish rule we had our families and our homes". This scene struck me. The reason is because it showed that not everyone supported the movement that Bolivar put so much effort into and also it did not show Bolivar as an idol. This showed that Bolivar had to work to gain the support of the population. Another example in the film is when Simon Rodriguez, Bolivar's guardian and mentor, called Bolivar and basically informed him that he had fallen from the right path and that he had lost himself. That scene showed the intense personal struggles Bolivar was going through. Today, in many films, the personal problems that magical characters go through can be overly dramatic. I personally don't think this is the case in this film. The film did a great job of conveying that Bolivar had to overcome many personal and political obstacles without being overly dramatic and dramatic.
