Two medical students in their early twenties improvised on a summer day to embark on a journey across the continent on a heavy locomotive. The separation and commitment from the lover at the beginning of the journey, the fun facts about the bump that keep happening during the journey, encountering all kinds of people and things, seeing the life outside the life circle that I have been accustomed to since I was a child, and then gradually emerge in the latter part of the journey Some subtle internal qualitative changes have taken place, the face of the lover who once loved has become distant and blurred, the cognition of society and life has been expanded, and finally I find that I can never return to the naive self of the past...
This kind of plot , which seems to take place at any time and in any place, strictly speaking, is not out of the mold of traditional YA movies; slightly different, this is a true story.
A young man in the story, after these eight months of travel, slowly embarked on a different life path; he went back to complete his medical school, and then embarked on a journey that never looked back, and finally lifted the gun, Becoming a revolutionary, embarking on a turbulent life of "clouds and waters, wind and thunder", until he was secretly executed at the age of 39 and became a legendary figure in the world-all of this, from this journey- ─He, as you already know, was Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967).
Director Walter Salles, best known for his "Grand Central Station" in 1998. It is said that when he attended the Sundance Film Festival, he accepted the suggestion of the founder of the film festival, Robert Redford, and tried to adapt Che's diary, which was originally written in Latin and has long been famous, into a film. After five years of production, it finally presented to the world a road movie of "youth and growth".
There was a time when Che's writing and biography was the pillar and food of my spirit day and night. Watching the familiar passages in the original work being presented one by one, I feel an indescribable "incomparable sunshine" in my heart. Compared with the "Trainspotting" type youth film, it has more openness and speed, and less psychedelic atmosphere that I can't bear to face, but it is easier to bear mentally.
Twenty-six-year-old Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal, who starred in "Fuck You" (another film I didn't have time to see, sorry), was already in the 2002 miniseries "Castro" Excessive; compared to Guevara in real history, although he is a little more gentle, he has a natural melancholy and a vicissitudes of innocence that seems to be broken at the touch of a button. Guevara" was extracted from the image and restored the appearance of a naive medical student. I personally think the casting was a success.
As I feel about Che now, after reading so much about it and understanding his later theories of guerrilla revolution, actually looking back and loving him in a detached way. His revolution and history are one thing, and his existence as a mere idol is another; I don't want to put too much political imagination on this film, so I might say it is a movie "Youth Invincible Road Movie" with beautiful pictures and music!
