Review of The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) by Jani H — 25 Dec 2008
"Wandering around our America has changed me more than I thought. I am not me any more. At least I'm not the same me I was. ".
Che Guevara is a historical person that most of us know. This movie is a road movie that tells the story of a young Guevara, on a journey across South America.
The story focuses more on how America, and the people he encountered, affected him. Walter Salles skips most of the political issues but gives us some serious things to think about that are relevant even today, for example the native Americans and their situation.
The lead actors performances are first class. Bernal does a great performance as the young passionate man, on his break to become an influential person. De La Serna's performance, as the outgoing Alberto Granado, is even better.
"The Motorcycle Diaries" is an interesting film about Ernesto Guevara, the man who dreamt of a unified America. The film is a first class effort by director Walter Salles and is filled with beautiful photography and music. Recommended.
