My Movie - The Motorcycle Diaries

First, the movie is a straight forward one. No heroism, no guns, no SFX, no thread fights, no sex. It is a bland yet brilliantly honest presentation of life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara during his early 20s. The film itself is an adaptation of the book with the same name. Che goes on an motorbike tour with his friend, Alberto. The locales are original, the San Pablo leper colony scene is also wonderful. The farewell speech at the leper colony is a bit political. It is an interesting movie. I recommend it as it is more humanist than communist movie. Well I dont know what Che's soul might be feeling, if it knows that his photo is doing millions of dollars business....err evil capitalist businesses ;-)
