Trivia:
The real Alberto Granado flew from Cuba to the city of Temuco in Chile to help as a technical consultant for some scenes. Alberto went to the real "Diario Austral" in Temuco, where he was interviewed by Gianni Miná for the Italian documentary "In viaggio con Che Guevara", outside of the building where he and Ernesto were interviewed half a century before. more

Excellent Film, Deserves Award, 14 November 2004

Author: dreams_sahara from California

The Motorcycle Diaries is a tale of Che's life prior to becoming a revolutionary political figure. We follow Che and his friend on a cross-country road trip, a journey into the unknown. The film was beautifully filmed. It really makes you want to travel and go to see some of the South/Central American countries.

The acting was superb. Gael Garcia Bernal is not new to the screen. He has delivered amazing performances in both Amores Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien. He does not disappoint in this movie. Newcomer, Rodrigo De La Serna, also gives an excellent performance.

Regardless of your politics and personal views of Che, you will walk away from this movie feeling a bit better about humanity.

I'm hoping this pulls Best Foreign Oscar.
