"The Death of Che Guevara" read with "Motorcycle Diary" is like a poet looking back at both ends of his life.

24 years old, walking forward with the big pirate wish of "I want to have sex all the way, all the way forward". Having encountered Waterloo in the first country, it is doomed that Che's future cannot simply be a middle-class playboy who goes to school and picks up girls.

The failure of picking up a girl made Che feel the pain, and the whole body boiled with blood.

So, he understood. Traveling with a good friend who accompanies you along the way is a serious business, let him spend money to pick up girls, and I will do something important to commemorate my youth.

Along the way, cheating, eating, drinking, cheating, and fighting can no longer satisfy the great ideals of young people. Since they want to do something big, they must go where the people need them. Where do we need us? Albert Granardo, who was stealing milk at the door, and Che, who was drinking milk, finally met the most important person when he was 24 years old, a doctor and teacher who loved to write novels.

An MD, a fat doctor embarks on a journey to cure lepers. What are the conditions required for the birth of a revolutionary? Confidence (and even conceit, of course), speech, convincing, and deep sympathy.

8198 km, leprosy center. Che's 24th birthday came, he gave a moving speech when he blew out the candle, his ideal of liberating the whole of Latin America was expressed to everyone for the first time, although this was his own private speech, it attracted the attention of the audience. Admiration and warm encouragement.

The birthday party is over and everyone goes home. He jumped into the river between the lepers and the nurses, facing the miserable masses, leaving all the middle-class and the warm and comfortable life behind him. Che made a choice at the age of 24, and his future life will always stand with the working people and the justice in his mind.

But he forgot one thing, the doctor exists for the sake of compassion. And revolutionaries also need the deviousness of politicians. Che did not break his promise after the trip. He did take liberation of Latin America as his lifelong ideal; unfortunately, he was murdered by the opposition in the process of carrying out the revolutionary cause in the later period. Che's completely arrogant attitude when dealing with high-level figures, and the repeated injuries of the army are the side reasons for the failure of presiding over the revolution.

At the beginning of the film, Che said, "The person who wrote this diary was dead on the day he set foot on Argentine soil. The me who organized and polished this diary has long ceased to be me; at least now I am no longer the me I used to be. Roaming Latin America has changed me far more than I could have foreseen."

In the deserted South American landscape, the 24-year-old I was also sitting in front of the screen , but prefer to walk into the screen. What is the rarest youth memorial? Che's father said before he left: "I'm proud of you. If I were a few years younger, I would jump on a motorcycle and walk with you without hesitation." Then, the answer to the question is - look for Dream, realize the dream with a lifetime.

che is an amazing person. At the end of the film, the plane takes to the skies with a brand new 24-year-old man.
