Obviously, this is a crazy plan. If a Chinese child who dares to show his parents such a travel plan and still wants to get permission, then he either drank too much or lived enough. But the story takes place in Argentina, South America, and the person who planned the trip was Che Guevara, so everything is different.
Wearing a black beret, with a sideburn and a thin face... Che Guevara, the romantic hero who is eagerly worshipped by young people all over the world, has become a popular fashion culture today. But those young people wearing T-shirts with Che Guevara's head and playing Zippo lighters with Che Guevara's head, what do they know about their idols? Is he a "red revolutionary fighter", a "red Robin Hood", or a "self-exiled international communist"?
If you don't know who Che Guevara is, then you should not miss this movie. If you are a fan of him, you should not miss this opportunity to wander with Che Guevara.
The film comes from the diary written by Che Guevara during the trip. At that time, he was also called Ernesto Guevara. He wrote at the end of the diary: "The person who wrote this diary died the day he set foot on Argentine soil again. The me who organized and polished this diary is no longer me; at least I am no longer the same me as I was in the past. Roaming in South America has changed me far more than I could foresee. "
The year I was on the road on a motorcycle, Che Guevara was 23 years old, medical school His diploma has not yet arrived, and he has been driven by his crazy youth. He and the 29-year-old biochemist Granado hurriedly hugged the tent and went on the road. In their eyes, only the beautiful curve across the Americas on the map was in sight. Waving greetings, the unknown ahead is as beautiful as a love poem by Neruda... At the beginning of the road, the scenery is pleasant, either magnificent mountains or exquisite pastoral, to paint this crazy motorcycle trip with poetic paint. It also shows the imagination of youth incisively and vividly.
The road ahead became more rugged as motorcycles passed through the state and provinces, and the changes in the topography were second. The bleak life that came along the way deeply shocked the 23-year-old future doctor Guevara. Suddenly from the youth dream on the road, I walked into the world of poverty and suffering. Yesterday was still so beautiful, but how did the world suddenly change today? With suspicion, irritation, feel, think, 23-year-old Guevara on the road lopsided, the inner world of a little bit of change revealed ......
beginning of the film's subtitle says: "This story is not heroism, it tells the story of A period of time when two like-minded friends were on the road together." The Brazilian Walter Sellers, who directed "Central Station", maintained his usual soothing temperament, and the film slowly advanced in a gentle rhythm. Until the day of Guevara's birthday, everyone celebrated him. After the joy, he remembered the poor patients on the other side and wanted to celebrate with them. There will be a boat tomorrow, so Che Guevara, regardless of his asthma, jumped into the dark and turbulent river and swam to the opposite bank. When everyone shouted for him, we realized that our emotions have been controlled by the faint plot, and this is the moment we should be moved and excited about it.
"Let the world change you, and then you can change the world." As the film's slogan says, this trip gave Guevara a sense of revolution. Guevara and Granado discovered the common ground in their lives. Goal and determined to change the world.
In Che Wagel's journey, every birthday would be an inspiration, because they never stayed in place, but kept moving forward. But the birthday reminds them more clearly, the difference between the past and the future and the present. Every time a certain day comes, we should think about all these things in our lives, right?
