Film: "The Motorcycle Diaries"
"The Motorcycle Diaries" is beautifully filmed
by Eric Gautier and convincingly acted by its stars Gael García Bernal and
Rodrigo de la Serna. It is an inspiring true story of a travel adventure in the
lives of two friends, Alberto Granado and the young man who would later become
the revolutionary Che Guevara (Bernal).
This film is both about a travel adventure
through Chile, the Andes, and Peru, often amusing to watch, and about an
adventure in the political awakening of Ernesto Guevara as he views the lives of
ordinary people struggling to survive. At the end of the journey, Ernesto does
not know what he will become, but he knows that he is
changed.
"The Motorcycle Diaries" is a
very good film, and it doesn't hurt that Gael García Bernal is really
beautiful to look at.
