Motorcycle Diaries, The Motorcycle Diaries, is a true story about a young Guevara, a journey of self-discovery.
Let me recall the beginning of the film - itinerary: 2000 kilometers, method: let it flow, purpose: to see an America we don't know well, maybe that's it, or my memory is wrong. I like it that way, especially when it comes to going with the flow, I'm always a little bit emotional.
I am not familiar with that actor, very much like Inzaki and Comrade Paul.

Looking at the biography of Guevara with a research mentality, a lot of dust has accumulated. It turned out that as early as January 1, 1950, Che was riding an old "Mikelen" bicycle with a small engine. On the 4,500-kilometer journey in northern Argentina, he was still accompanied by his friend Alberto, who majored in biochemistry.
It's like a nostalgic quest for a pastoral life that's gone forever.
I've come to appreciate the vague awareness that has developed over the years in the hustle and bustle of city life. It was some disgusting civilization, a brutish picture of people moving frantically with horrible noises. --Excerpted from Guevara's travel diary
I think we can all understand this feeling.
At the age of 18, he is still a teenager who wants to win the hearts and minds of girls through the unique way of traveling around the world.

On December 29, 1951, the two set off again, which is the story that the whole movie tells us. Two young hearts, full of young people's blind and impulsive emotions, full of Baudelaire "going on the road." Go!" The call of "Go on the road!"
The true travelers are those who go out for the sake of getting out. They are as lighthearted as air balloons, but they never stray from their destination. I don't know why, they always say: "Let's go!" - Baudelaire, "The Flower of Evil". Baudelaire, who was highly praised by the BG generation, or just such a sentence "Go on the road!" ignited the beginning of the BG movement. Kerouac's "I'm young, I'm eager to hit the road" cry and my favorite Dharma Wanderer. And later, so many things.
The scene that I liked the most in the movie was Guwara's birthday, when everyone celebrated for him. After the joy, he tried his best to swim to the other side regardless of his asthma. I think that if Che was not a great revolutionary, he must have become an outstanding representative of BG, but he was born in America, and at the end of his journey, he was determined to share weal and woe with the people.
I'd rather be an illiterate Indian than be an American millionaire. What our people need more is to liberate them and save them. -- Again from Guevara's travel diary.
A journey is enough to change a person's life; and this person's change has changed the whole world... I like this film review, not only that, but I think it has also changed a lot of people.
