Motorcycle Diaries
The film Morocycle Diaries would have to be my favorite road film. The plot is based on true events of Marxist Che Guevare and his political development. The film focuses on a journey across South America in 1952 by Ernesto Guevara (Che) who is completing his medical degree and his friend Alberto Granado who is a biochemist. They travel on an old motorcycle to Venezuela and meet many people along the way that show the two friends the injustices occurring in the world. Motorcycle Diaries is rich in Latin culture with the film being in Spanish and integrates both comical and revolutionary content. It is the perfect film to watch when feeling insignificant. The prominent quote in the movie always leaves me wanting to experience new things and create change,
let the world change you and you can change the world.
