The Motorcycle Diaries - Review


It’s an inspiring Spanish Biopic movie, taken from the legendary diary of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, directed by Walter Salles.

This movie is about the transformation of Ernesto Guerva in to a famous revolutionary “Che” Guerva and it has won many awards including Cannes film festival, BAFTA and Oscar.

The plot is very simple, Ernesto Guevara, a medical student, and his friend Alberto Granado, a biochemist, leave to discover their continent (Latin America) on an old motorcycle in the early 50’s.

The two best friends start off their journey from Argentina, with the same goals and aspirations in which they are looking for chicks, fun and adventure, but by the time the journey is over at Peru, it opens their eyes to social injustice, beautiful woman, human kindness and the true meaning of saddle sore…

This film follows an inspiring journey of self-discovery and traces the youthful origins of a revolutionary heart, “Che” Guevara.

All the landscapes are beautifully captured on camera with stunning background score.

Walter Salles has succeeded in producing a faithful and accessible tale that genuinely moves and conveys the truth.

Verdict:
It’s pretty good.

★★★★☆
