When Xiao Yao lent me "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", she recommended "Motorcycle Diary". She said that you can watch it, it is also a very classic film.
Unfamiliar film, and seemingly unfamiliar subject matter. What came to my mind was "Kino's Journey" and the term "road movie" I saw in a movie magazine. It is generally foreseeable that travel will have extraordinary meanings for travelers, otherwise this story would not be necessary to tell.
Without reading any introduction, I went straight to the topic. The Chinese translation of the Taiwan version (?) made it a little difficult for me to read, but it also made me completely unaware that this film, which wrote about the passionate youth and the self-examination and sublimation of the situation of the rich and the poor in South America and the whole world at that time, was about a movie. Such a familiar yet unfamiliar object. I didn't realize that this was a film with a background until he raised his glass, until he waved his oar and waved goodbye to the other side, until his melancholy and romantic eyes stared at an ideal world.
"Czeguwala". This is how it is translated in Chinese subtitles.
"It's not a heroic deed, it's a brief parallel of two lives. They share common aspirations and dreams. Are our visions too narrow and hasty? Are our conclusions too inflexible? Maybe. Wandering America, for me Bringing unexpected changes. I am no longer me, at least not the same me."
Ah, so it is, so it is.

ps, I really like the narrative method of the film. Their series of experiences on the journey, the connection and switching of scenes, seem to jump, but they are full of imagination and fun. (Reminds me of "Kiujiro's Summer", it's so interesting) The director doesn't need to explain what he wants to tell in the language and situation of the direct preaching, a stare, a silence, a broad perspective, everything is interpreted by the audience.
