The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I can see how this movie is a favourite of a lot of people. The actors played the roles extremely well and were aided by a decent script. The entire movie was shot well and everything seemed to be exactly what you would want in a good movie. The problem however is that the movie was not for me. I struggled with it not overly enjoying the ride I was taken on. This is not a knock on the makers of the movie, as I said they did a good job, its just I personally didn't really enjoy it much.

"Let the world change you;then you can change the world".There are certain things in our life, which are just waiting for their time. If we just allow them knowingly or unknowingly, they do their part so fine. When you encounter them for the first time they seem like they are yet another same thing that you've crossed a million times, but slowly... slowly they breach into you, your most private portions of your soul.They make you cry. Cry not out of pain but out of ineffable Happiness.They make you feel your presence and its prominence on this lonely planet.They change you, make you what you weren't ever before.They keep knocking you from within and churn you like anything.This is one such creation....

Very well made movie. A journey which you will feel that you are a part of. I felt like I traveled across South America through this movie, the scenery of Latin America that I saw though this movie is beautiful. Gael García Bernal (Ernesto Fuser Guevara) was at his best and so Rodrigo de la Serna (Alberto Granado). They never came out of their role in any part of the movie. The movie shows the real situations that people of Latin America faced during that period. The movie is not a serious one also had some funny moments that really makes this movie more enjoyable. People who loves adventure and trip kind of movie, this one is a must watch.

Based on 'Che Guevera's' youth before he became 'Che' , it is a tale of a man's becoming. It is a portrayal of real events. I still have a lump on my throat from the emotion in the movie. I think the indigenous people are the one most affected by the current scheme of things which is hugely based on education-based skills developed for industries.The indigenous with minimal education has little scope in such a context. I can relate to Alfredo(Che)'s longing to have one united south America - his all encompassing approach towards everyone in the south America as his own people. He is not saying that from his philosophical thinking , he is telling it from his heart. His earnestness is so moving. I also admire his honesty and boldness. He is so soft at heart but at the same time very very bold and very very honest. There is saathvik advice that says you need to work to find out your life's mission and then live it. We know how Che has lived. Motor cycle diaries shows the homework.I don't really know what to write - I just know that I still have the lump on my throat.May be I should mention the scene where Che swims across the river from the section where the doctors stay to the section where the leprosy patients stay because having finished his birthday celebrations from the doctors' camp , he wanted to do the same from the patients' camp and on the same night as well and he has to swim the width of the river and he is allergic to water. That is one important piece - the inspiration part of it. This movie is very inspiring. It inspires you to follow your heart. It creates a longing in you. A life based out of passion - not based out of work schedules. Che was from a well-to-do background and he had a loving family with him too. He decides to sacrifice these for the greater good and the things that he wanted to do. He went around , saw things , did not like injustices around, had the balls to act against them and plunged himself completely into this mission. That is what he did, may be, somewhere along the line, he might have made mistakes.
