"This is not a heroic deed, it's just that two vivid lives meet somewhere in time and share an ideal and pursuit. Are our vision too narrow, too extreme, too short-sighted? Our conclusions are too rigid and rigid. Maybe? But this casual trip to the Americas has changed me beyond my own imagination. I've never been myself, at least my heart is no longer my heart."
This is the film At the end of a monologue, I think this sentence also summarizes the content of the film well.
As a road film, the film consists of interesting and vivid stories. Although there is not much connection between the stories, it inherits the "casual" temperament of the film. The folk customs, cultural relics, and natural scenery all over Latin America displayed in the film during the long journey add a poetic and charming temperament to the film. It also makes the story of the two trolls who survived the disaster and turned the good fortune into a very interesting story.
Although "Motorcycle Diary" tells about the youth of a generation of great man Che Guevara, but the film does not involve much about Che Guevara's revolutionary investigation. There are also many symbolic depictions of the suffering of the people in the nature film, such as the dilapidated wooden boat behind the cruise ship, the rich and the poor separated by the Amazon River, but this kind of symbolic and poetic depiction is not for the "revolution". It's painless.
In fact, as said at the beginning of the article, this film is not a story about the "awakening of great men", but about the "ideals and pursuits" of young people. After watching the film, I have not been myself for many times, at least my heart is not It's my heart again.
