The unique, borderline bizarre style of Bolivar was particularly entertaining, but the real value of the movie was its underlying political and cultural statement. The quotes that leap forcefully out of Robinson Díaz's mouth speak of a misused and abused cultural icon that has been used as a tool to sway the public. The icon of Bolivar, along with icons like Che Guevara and Salvador Allende, has taken on a life of its own, and has been used for purposes that the men themselves may have stood against. The ravings of a half-mad soap opera actor, the incredulity of a kidnapped president, and the cooing of the beautiful Amparo Grisales fully entertain while still conveying this important message.
