-Che Grava
"Some people are dead, but he is still alive." No matter how much It's hard to believe that Che Grava's idealistic head is still printed on the world's most fashionable T-shirts and Zippo lighters. Countless young people worship this somewhat mythical figure. We can only lament that ideals and youth have been misunderstood when those stunned boys with tattoos lift up their cut T-shirts to reveal horrific tattoos. The world of Che is like a labyrinth. Even with the same ambition, the final result may be very different. If possible, we might as well start from the ideal budding stage of this cultural icon, to empathize with the excitement that belongs to young people.
So, Walter. Sellers brought this movie "Motorcycle Diary", which describes the trip around South America during the University of Che.
The plan: 8,000 kilometers in four months The
way: Go with the flow
Goal: Travel through South America as we know it in the book
Tool: "La Poderosa" (nickname for motorcycle)
24-year-old Argentine youth European on January 4, 1952 Nestor Grava, and his friend Alberto, followed the plan and set off from Buenos Aires with a sense of dominance.
At the beginning of the journey, the two young people couldn't contain the romantic and warm nature of South Americans, and they danced and talked in love at home in Cecina reluctantly. But Che quickly restrained the impetuousness of the young people. When he saw the Pampas grassland with flocks of cattle and sheep, Che calmly said, I am so happy that we have left civilization behind and are close to the earth. . .
Sail into Chile, and the journey begins to get better, and the noise, laziness and shrewdness of the South American people reveal a unique social picture for us. On the other hand, in the subtleties, we can detect Che's annoyance and confusion about the trip, the continued exacerbation of asthma, the motorbike that is about to be scrapped, the tent that was blown away by the storm, and the love affair with Cecina The nostalgia deepened his depression. It's just that this personal emotion didn't last long. When Chi was seeing a dying old man, he felt a deep sense of fear in the empty and hopeless eyes of the old man, but this was different from the confusion about his personal life. , but the confusion of the entire human society.
After their motorcycles were completely scrapped, the two still insisted on exploring the American continent on foot. At a mine in Chile, they met a communist couple whose land was swallowed up and evicted by the landlord, hiding from the police. search. The sadness in her husband's eyes deeply touched Che's soul. In the past, Che was just a medical student. He could eat a hearty breakfast every morning. In his spare time, he was accompanied by his brothers and sisters. At this moment, Che really realized the cruelty of the world. He said that this was the coldest night in my life, and the encounter with them made me have a deeper understanding of the world, and suddenly I was unfamiliar with this world. . .
The deeper he went into the people at the bottom, the more uneasy he became. He saw with his own eyes the destruction of the Inca culture by the Spanish colonists, and the human civilization had no dignity under the threat of guns and ammunition. If it hadn't been invaded, what would charming South America be like today?
The next stop on the trip was the St. Beau leper hospital on the banks of the Amazon. He ignored the nun's advice, shook hands with the leper, and was hailed as a "true gentleman". He began to slowly understand the sufferings of the world, and he worked hard to treat those patients, not only because of compassion, but also because of a sense of leadership that he gradually inspired. He hopes to lead these people out of the swamp of life. Predictably, the trip was closely linked to his later growth as a leader of the Cuban Revolution.
At the end of the film, Che successfully completed the task, and the leprosy hospital held a birthday party for him. Che was quite impressed by the multi-day journey. He said that although our leaders prevented us from becoming your spokesperson, after this time Travel, we believe that the division of Latin American countries is completely impossible, we are heart to heart, from Mexico all the way to the Strait of Magellan, so I will do my best in each country on the way. . . "Cheers for the unity of Latin America!" When people started to celebrate, Che quit the crowd and stood thoughtfully in the evening breeze, without saying a word, but with a look of gloom in his eyes. So there is a symbolic scene in the film. He jumps into the icy river without hesitation and swims to the island where the lepers are stationed on the opposite side. He wants to share happiness with the patients. The turbulent river becomes more and more ferocious, and the water monsters at the bottom of the river symbolize all the despicableness, cowardice and deceit of human beings. Keqie's will has already broken free of all kinds of resistance. When selfishness and fear sink to the bottom, ideals and beliefs will surface. .
At that moment, I heard a voice sweep across the Pampas, meandering through the Los Andes Mountains:
I, not me anymore.
