The director Cyrus explained "Motorcycle Diary": "The film tries to approach the spirit of the diary, describing not only the process on the road, but also the process of a person constantly exploring his inner world and finding his own position in the world." The
young Che Guevara When I was 23 years old, I embarked on a trip to the Americas with my friends. It was in a cafe, and my friend pointed at a fat old man dozing off and said, "You don't want to live your life like him." Che Guevara nodded. Like every young person, they want to see the outside world. They are full of curiosity and doubts about the unknown journey.
It was a journey full of prosaic as well as adventure. They have witnessed the majesty of the South American continent, and the passion and suffering of the American people. They were treated as unscrupulous young people trying to seduce other people's wives, and were chased and beaten. They also spent time with lepers and devoted their enthusiasm.
This journey is also a process of self-discovery, and in contrast with others, they gradually find themselves. Travel means novelty, discovery, thinking, and new life.
Che Guevara is so frank, he said his heartfelt words to a doctor who sent him off on the trip, your novel is full of clichés, you should focus on what you are good at, and be a good doctor - the old doctor at the dinner table When he handed them the novel tied with the ribbon, he once said that it was his favorite, except for his wife - he was stunned for a while, a little disappointed, and then patted Guevara hard, saying You're the only one telling the truth, that's fine.
The old doctor's encouragement, I think, is also very good. For a young man, it is a kind of affirmation, affirmation of telling the truth.
The staunch Communist couples that Guevara met, as well as the faces of the American people full of suffering and enthusiasm, all made him more attached to this land. He must have felt the pain in his young heart when he saw the injustice, the peasants being driven from their land by the landlords.
In 1952, after a two-year trip, the two young people who were once at a loss not only understood the real America, but also saw their hearts clearly. Guevara finally took the revolution as his life path and went to fight for the Americas. Independence and happiness of the people.
It is destined that only a few people can become heroes of the times. Many people have seen suffering, but only heroes have stood up to injustice and are willing to sacrifice themselves. Fifteen years later, Guevara, still young, gave his life for the revolution.
He will be respected by people. His symbol of strength and courage will continue to inspire and bring hope.
