Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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 Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars beautiful movie.......2007-06-22

I thought this was an extrordinarily beautiful movie. The cinematography, music, acting, and pace are all superb. I'll leave out the Guevara/Castro rant, since this is not the appropriate forum, and it's not relevant to a review of this movie. Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A love letter to a pre-Che.......2007-06-16

I've read both books that this DVD is based on, and the way they are put together makes an interesting film. If you haven't yet discovered the talents of Garcia Gael Bernal, you certainly will want to see more of his films after this. Beautifully photographed, will make you want to take a tour of Latin America yourself. Perfect casting all around. Truly gives you a better understanding of Ernesto "Che" Guevaro's motivation for who he was to become. The Widescreen edition is a must to appreciate the magnificent magical feeling that makes you want to get on the back of the motocycle with them.

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-05-30

This movie is one of the best foreign flix i have ever seen. the way that they portrey Che is so interesting. finding out about one of the most memerable rebels in all of history. seeing his beginings in communism and the point of view of the native people in chile peru and all of south america. This movie is a great historical film as long as a great Drama

5 out of 5 stars Why do so many people get this film wrong..........2007-04-29

First of all, this is NOT a documentary, this is a film portraying the life of a 23 year old Ernesto Guevara de La Serna looking for adventures and inspiration. There was no need to give more details or be more specific about this character. He was a young man at this point, far from becoming the infamous warrior the world came to know as Che Guevara. I love this film, in fact it one of my favorites. I am appalled to learn about his actions in Cuba and his decision to stop practising medicine. I cannot deny that I both, admire and despise what he became, but the point of this movie is to depict his journey through South America, not how he became Che Guevara and end up with Fidel Castro in Cuba.

5 out of 5 stars Let the world change you and this film also........2007-04-11

One of Gael's insperational & professional roles as "che" hands down. A really really great movie of how the world chages a person and makes them wanna change the world he lives in.

        Product Description

        En Junio de 1997, un equipo de científicos argentinos y cubanos, integrado por antropólogos forenses y .geofísicos, desarrollaron un trabajo de búsqueda en tierras del viejo aeródromo de Vallegrande en Bolivia, para dar con los restos del comandante Che Guevara y los seis compañeros que habían sido enterrados allí, hacía 30 años. Este trabajo documental , muestra mas allá de la labor científica y el hallazgo de los restos óseos, un emocionante relato de los que fueron los acontecimientos del 8 de Octubre de 1967, cuando el Che, cae prisionero en el combate de Vado del Yeso, frente a las fuerzas de los Rangers bolivianos, y posteriormente un día después es fusilado en la escuelita de La Higuera. Los testimonios de los protagonistas del 67, como el General Gary Prado Salmón, y la enfermera Susana Osinaga, sumados a los relatos de los responsables del hallazgo y de los pobladores de Vallegrande, se enlazan en un emotivo homenaje que transita los mensajes mas humanos del Che, y desprende una figura eterna y viviente como lo es la del Comandante Guevara que con su mito ha vencido a la muerte que lo sorprendió en Bolivia en plena lucha revolucionaria.
