When the old Granado stares at the sky at the end of the film, his face after years of vicissitudes forms a huge contrast with the passionate image of the film when he is young. Who would have thought that someone who loved life so much when they were young could also grow old? Who would have thought that Che would not even have a chance to grow old?
Suddenly thought of a sentence: do not retreat when you are young, do not regret when you are old. Three people: Granado should be like this, Che is not old but forever young, me? Just young. In terms of achievements, of course, I can't talk about the same age as him, but I have the same passion as him in my twenties. He crossed the Amazon River when he was 24 years old, but in order not to show weakness in front of Mount Everest, I raced with the carriage at the base camp, holding my breath, at an altitude of more than 5,000, I just left the carriage behind. At the age of twenty-three, he bravely embarked on the feat of crossing South America. The roar of motorcycles reverberated on the Pampas grassland. At twenty-two, I began to travel alone. My lonely figure was cruising on the western plateau. Youth and fearlessness, that is the mark we share with Che.
There is another sentence, which I thought of from what I saw and heard in the travel, the process of his own sublimation of his own thinking, and his great deeds in the future, which is Paul Korchagin's famous saying about communism: "When he looks back on In the past, I do not regret for wasting my time... My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the great communist cause."
Che, you are good.

The Motorcycle Diaries quotes

  • Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Even though we are too insignificant to be spokesmen for such a noble cause, we believe, and this journey has only confirmed this belief, that the division of American into unstable and illusory nations is a complete fiction. We are one single mestizo race from Mexico to the Magellan Straits. And so, in an attempt to free ourselves from narrow minded provincialism, I propose a toast to Peru and to a United America.

  • Title Card: [Opening] "This isn't a tale about heroic feats. It's about two lives running parallel for a while, with common aspirations and similar dreams." Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, 1952
