Self-examination of life.

My viewing of motorcycle diaries stopped in the Inca region. Lying in bed all afternoon with the CD-ROM drive. To be honest, I didn't get to watch the entire movie, all thanks to my broken ass computer and my fiddly optical drive. However, that doesn't stop my boiling heart and passion for writing this review.
There was a dream about wandering very early on, and it clearly appeared in my dream. I clearly remember such a broad avenue, and there is no other word to describe it except freedom.
Motorcycle diary, let me experience the pleasure of being alive for the first time. Only the kind of non-stop tumbling makes people grow up. Isn't our youth gradually lost in such tumbles? Guevara is like a revolutionary on the road, sticking to the belief in kindness and love, and occasionally playing tricks to make a living. He embarked on the road with a stubborn dream, and he grew up after experiencing all kinds of hardships on the road of exile. The beauty of the South American continent, the beauty of youth, the beauty of courage and the beauty of freedom are vividly displayed. This is anything but a movie about homelessness. Starting from the leather outfit and the broken motorcycle, I started to feel a little desolate, so the various encounters eventually became the end of a belief, but a greater belief was farther ahead.
Albert, the not-so-old fat man, always strikes me as a conspiracy. Watching him shoot wild ducks with a gun, he was always afraid that the gun would end up in Guevara's chest. Albert is a wretched but equally ideal man, but he lives more realistically, or lives less realistically. It's a contradictory role. He's more suited to be a wanderer, because he's cunning and adept at using rascals and intrigues. But it is not easy to create a sense of trust. I only remember his words, I am 30 years old, and there are several 30 years old in my life...
This film across South America always emphasizes humanistic care, freedom and love. Travel contains more than the pursuit of freedom, what is the end of travel? It is always a stay. That destination is a place that encompasses freedom, ideals, kindness, love and dignity. The journey is the belief of the feet, but it is not the inspection of life. It makes us love life more and inspect our existence and responsibility more.
This is the first movie of the new year that moved me, it started to inspire me to go further, for youth, freedom, ideals, dignity and future.
