See it to feel it!


You can be moved to tears after seeing a man stand there and gaze at his departing friend who was with him through thick and thin. . . Even when you know your visions are different, paths are diverging you carry on with the gaze . . . Gazing at the profound humility of the creator.

Can a movie create such profound thoughts? Well that is what "The Motorcycle Diaries" did to me


A young medico sets out to explore his diversified country and what he sees in one year changes him forever. He goes on to prove his words: " To accomplish much you must first lose everything " Directed by Walter Salles, Gael Garcia Bernard brings to life the legend - Ernesto Che Guevara.

The strength of the movie lies in its cast. The subtle ways in which his eyes captures his thoughts is beautiful. A man who was affected by the profudity of the injustice around him was willing to be changed by it and in turn lead to its change.


Dovetailing into its narrative the storytelling mode with his thoughts and his diary writing and a documentative mode this is an adaptation of Che's Diaries by the same name. . . A must see. . .
