The Motorcycle Diaries (Che Guevara) - Cine Argentino

Biographical film about the journey and written memoir of the 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara, who would years later become internationally known as the iconic Marxist revolutionary "Che" Guevara. The film recounts the 1952 journey, initially by motorcycle, across South America by Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado. As the adventure centered around youthful hedonism unfolds, Guevara discovers himself transformed by his observations of the life of the impoverished indigenous peasantry. The road presents Ernesto Guevara and Alberto Granado a genuine picture of the Latin American identity. Through the characters they encounter on the road, Guevara and Granado learn the injustices the impoverished face and are exposed to people they would have never encountered in their hometown.

The trip serves to expose a Latin American identity as well as explore the identity of one of its most memorable revolutionaries.

Awards: Won Oscar. Another 26 wins & 37 nominations & IMDB Rating: 7.9/10
