	The Motorcycle Diaries
		This subtitled movie has value as a historical travelogue, but the idea is better suited for print.
		The movie is set in 1952, when Guevara, a 23-year-old Argentine medical student, starts a cross-continent odyssey with his friend Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna).
		They travel on a 1939 Norton motorcycle they nickname "the Mighty One," though the moniker is largely ironic because the bike is far from mighty.

	THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES Movie Review
		Before long, their poor excuse for transport — Alberto’s motorcycle — is causing them grief as they travel along dirt tracks, in all kinds of weather and without much knowledge of repairs.
		You can feel his inner turmoil growing and by the time they reach the hospital for lepers where they will volunteer for over 3 weeks, he is convinced there is so much that can change and his wanting to be a part of that change.
		NB: This movie is subtitled and at times the subtitles were hard to read, because of their speed and blending into the background, which can sometimes make it very frustrating.

	The Motorcycle Diaries Movie Review - The Motorcycle Diaries Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		With "The Motorcycle Diaries," Walter Salles, the gentle Brazilian director of tearjerkers such as "Central Station," lays us down, as a mother might lay a sleeping babe, in the small, cozy space of Guevara's transition from youthful idealist to political icon.
		Salles's movie is not the sexy rock 'n' roll polemic you might expect from the likes of an Oliver Stone.
		Maybe this is the trouble with "The Motorcycle Diaries." It's handsome by association.

	Lee's Movie Info - Motorcycle Diaries Review
		Come see this movie about a communist who helped Fidel Castro come to power, denied people their freedoms as today’s Cuba illustrates, and essentially hated the American way of life.
		You can tell that "The Motorcycle Diaries" isn't going to have a happy ending, even if it had an ending at all, considering that the entire movie is one long introduction that ends at the climax.
		Bernal makes the movie come alive, showing an innocent, well-meaning, and untested youth with decent values and an eagerness to right what he thought was wrong.

	The Motorcycle Diaries movie review
		Based on the books 'The Motorcycle Diaries' by Ernesto Che Guevara and 'Traveling With Che Guevara' by Alberto Granado, the movie deals with the real life story of a young Argentine man who became the revolutionary "Che", who was later murdered violently in Bolivia at a young age of 39.
		Movie provides a tender and memorable insight into life of "Che", one of the famous crusader for justice in the modern world.
		The Movie makes you appreciate what you have and makes you concerned that how many people in different parts of the world are deprived of simple necessities.

	The Motorcycle Diaries: A Movie Review by Jack Moore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Motorcycle Diaries contains the soul of Che's writings, and thus, the soul of Che himself - not the fashion label, not the thinker, and not the "rebel," but the kid who so freely and impetuously threw himself and his ideals to the mercy of the open road.
		The Motorcycle Diaries is a small chance for Che Guevara to leap forth from the t-shirts and posters and remind us of who he was.
		The Motorcycle Diaries is about Che in all of his brilliance, his ambition, his sympathy, his petty self-righteousness, and especially his naivety.

	The Motorcycle Diaries review - movie review of the Walter Salles film starring Gael Garcia Bernal
		The Motorcycle Diaries opens on a kind of precaution to those who expect to see a portrait of Che: here, not an exceptional account, just two people on the road.
		The film was inspired by Che's Motorcycle Diaries as well as with Granado's book, With Che in South America.
		The many falls from the motorcycle are as much metaphors for this life training.

	‘Motorcycle Diaries’ is a vivid travelogue - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
		“The Motorcycle Diaries,” however, is based on fact: the journals of two young Argentines, Alberto Granado and Ernesto Guevara de la Serna.
		But the diaries were written in 1952, when Guevara and his best friend Granado were in their 20s, and the film (aside from a final-curtain cameo appearance by the real Granado) restricts itself to that period.
		Their visit to a leper colony, where they defy a bureaucratic Mother Superior by shaking hands with the lepers and failing to go to mass, is the movie’s strongest, most substantial single episode.

	Movie - The Motorcycle Diaries
		The Motorcycle Diaries, which is based on memoirs written by Granado and by Guevara, who would become the revolutionary "El Che," is structured as an inspirational road movie in which Ernesto "discovers" himself in the process of witnessing social injustice.
		The Motorcycle Diaries may be a sophisticated snow job, but it's also true that the brutalities it serves up are not fictions and, in many ways, still exist in Latin America.
		Ernesto may not be the "real" Che—his diaries, for one thing, were written several years after the trip, when he was already embossing his image—but he represents a wish-fulfillment fantasy of how virtuous and humane we would be if we were revolutionaries.

		Goofs: Anachronisms: At the end of the movie, when Che is at the airport, a yellow GMC pickup drives by.
		The Motorcycle Diaries does a great job of sketching out the character of Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, without any pandering to our knowledge of who he will become.
		It's a deeply felt examination of the events that inspired the development of a political consciousness, with only a few touches of the hagiography that has developed around 'el Che' and those not until late in the film.

	Reviews: The Motorcycle Diaries - Christianity Today Movies
		The Motorcycle Diaries aims to subvert all this by showing us the man behind the myth, but in its own way, it too downplays the particulars of the man and his politics.
		At its best, The Motorcycle Diaries is a thought-provoking film, grounded in breathtaking scenery and engaging performances, and if it is more interested in what it means to be human than in pushing any particular ideological agenda, then that is not necessarily a bad thing.
		The Motorcycle Diaries is rated R for language; though the dialogue is in Spanish, the expletives show up in English subtitles.

		The text of the original motorcycle diaries gives a strong sense, much more than the movie, of the factors that influenced this artist/activist as young man. Idealistic, cheeky, sexually libidinous, political, strong minded.

	Motorcycle Diaries Movie Review
		The duo has a series of adventures that vary from the suspenseful (stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins) to the comedic (falling off their bikes, wooing women, drunken revelry) to the serious (volunteering at a leper colony).
		One of this movie’s greatest strength is its ability to portray the young Che Guevara as an ordinary 23-year-old, not as an icon.
		This movie is in Spanish with subtitles so it takes a bit of concentration to understand, but it’s well worth the effort.

		If the movie wasn't based on a book by Che Guevara, most people wouldn't be paying attention, and that's too bad.

		Bernal and de la Serna are wonderfully natural and engaging, which makes the movie fun for us no matter what you think of Guevara.

		And thus it is in Salles' Motorcycle Diaries.
		Yet the entire movie, in its concept and tone, exudes a Christological cult of martyrdom, a cult of adoration for the spiritually superior person who is veering toward death—precisely the kind of adoration that Latin America's Catholic Church promoted for several centuries, with miserable consequences.
		The diaries tend to be haphazard and nonideological except for a very few passages.

		As most potential viewers know, this film is based on diaries and letters to home written by Ernesto "Che" Guevara during a motorcycle and foot tour of a significant portion of South America during the early 1950s, years before Guevara achieved international renown as a Communist and Latino revolutionary.
		I highly recommend this movie for not only an exciting film that will draw you in, but for a look at the making of a revolutionary who so affected the world in which we live today.

		The Motorcycle Diaries is heartfelt and profound in its rendering of the formative experiences that turn Ernesto "Che" Guerva into a famous revolutionary.
		As they straddled their beaten up motorcycle, the men talked in awed tones of the sights they were about to experience.
		The South American landscape is breathtakingly captured on camera, with Salles vividly reproducing a continent beleaguered by poverty and disease, but containing a population in possession of an unshakeable sense of optimism, as beautifully personified by Guevara and Granado.

		In 1952, Guevara, a medical student, and his rowdy biochemist buddy Alberto Granado embarked on a road trip across Argentina, Chile and Peru, re-created in The Motorcycle Diaries.
		Many of the people whom Guevara and Granado meet along their 8,000-mile journey are not actors, and their naturally expressive faces lend humanity and authenticity to the story.
		Though it occasionally feels earnest and reverential, and Guevara seems almost saintly in his unwavering integrity, Motorcycle Diaries avoids the medicinal by leavening the action with humor.

		Of course, they end up hunting for their supper in somebody's back yard, and pushing their mechanically wasted motorcycle (nicknamed "la poderosa," trans: the mighty one) through snow, sand and more.
