The Motorcycle Diaries (Widescreen Edition) (2004)
Highly entertaining
I was not expecting much from this film, given that Ernesto Guevara is played by a Mexican actor. However, Bernal does an okay job of portraying the young revolutionary leader, accent and everything. The man that steals the show, though, is Rodrigo de la Serna, the actor who plays Che's travelling buddy. It was a delight to watch him in the film; he is a very good actor indeed.
During the film we see a young Guevara transform from a fun loving man to one that is aghast by all the poverty and social injustice he sees in his journey through South America. We therefore witness the birth of the man that became the controversial "Che", the one who died in the jungles of Bolivia.
The Motorcycle Diaries has a lot of funny moments that had a lot of people laughing in the cinema. My favourite is when Che is trying to dance "merengue" as if it was "tango." However, watch for De La Serna, he provides most of the funny moments by far.
The scenery was fantastic, I had no idea South America was this beautiful.
The music was great too, you can never miss if you play Perez Prado.
I recommend this film, you won't be disappointed.
