Travel changes us

The film tells how a trip to South America inspired Che Guevara's new worldview, and revolutionary enthusiasm began to grow in him. Guevara (Gael García Bernal Gael García Bernal) was 23 years old, high-spirited, hesitant, and a medical student. Intrigued by the outside world, he embarks on a long journey through Latin America with his friend Albert. They got on their motorcycles and set off in a hurry, but the motorcycles were quickly scrapped. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the young man at all, and the two relied on hitchhiking to complete the rest of the journey. Passing through the ruins of ancient civilizations in Latin America and among people of various colors in various countries, they began to truly feel the truth of society and the suffering of life. When they went deep into the leper areas of the Amazon, they were struck by what they saw. Che Guevara began to think about grand and esoteric propositions: human beings, society, economy, civilization, human suffering, the definition of happiness.
This movie was mentioned by the author in watching "Ten Years of Backpacking", and I also like to travel, although there is always no Time and opportunity, but it's also good to see other people's travel lives. When I first watched it, I thought it was a movie about travel. The two of them rode a broken motorcycle and started to travel around the South American continent, but as the journey progressed, they also felt that their travel was too hard. Not to mention the wind, the sun, the rain and the snow, they are two poor people themselves, and there is no such thing as the enjoyment of traveling, but I feel that this is also an experience. The more I saw the end, the more I felt the sublimation of their travel experience, especially when they went through the mining area to the leprosy ward, what they did was admirable, especially when Guevara had to swim to the other side on his birthday. Ward, when I celebrated their birthday with them, I was very moved, and I also liked this young man very much. The words he said at the birthday party before he finally left made people abandon their narrow concept of place, and let him in this time. The thought has been sublimated during the travel, allowing him to do even greater things in the future. Wish I could have the same travel experience as the characters in the show.
