Movie Reviews of The Motorcycle Diaries (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Superb film and travelogue, with stunning landscapes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read all the 1 star reviews about who Che became, and of course his revolutionary bent, etc. This is not what this film was about. All that came later, and can be judged by history. What this film was about, however, is a true, as real as it gets, soul searching journey by two young Argentinian men who traverse South America on motorcycle in order to see other landscapes and people. The poignancy and 'life lessons' they learn as they encounter injustices and poverty suffered by many of these people are very real and moving. 'Self-discovery' and empathy come in many forms, as these two shape their opinions on the human condition while two-wheeling it across many landscapes and cultures for 8 months. The scenery and landscapes are stunning and gorgeous, and the well-paced film has a very realistic feel to it that draws you in. HIGHLY recommended!
Summary of The Motorcycle Diaries (Widescreen Edition)
The beauty of the South American landscape and of Gael Garcia Bernal (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Bad Education) gives The Motorcycle Diaries a charisma that is decidedly apolitical. But this portrait of the young Che Guevara (later to become a militant revolutionary) is half buddy-movie, half social commentary--and while that may seem an unholy hybrid, under the guidance of Brazillian director Walter Salles (Central Station) the movie is quietly passionate. Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna, a lusty and engaging actor) set off from Buenos Aires, hoping to circumnavigate the continent on a leaky motorcycle. They end up travelling more by foot, hitchhiking, and raft, but their experience of the land and the people affects them profoundly. No movie could affect an audience the same way, but The Motorcycle Diaries gives a soulful glimpse of an awakening social conscience, and that's worth experiencing. --Bret FetzerAction & Adventure DVD Video
