The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)
The Motorcycle Diaries follows an inspiring journey of self-discovery and traces the youthful origins of a revolutionary heart. The film is adapted from the journals of two real-life young Argentines, Alberto Granado and Ernesto Guevara de la Serna – the latter of whom would become "El Che." Over the course of eight months and 8,000 miles, what starts out as a lark becomes a profound journey of discovery, not only of themselves but of a continent filled with infinite sorrow – and infinite hope. From homeless miners to riverboat prostitutes, from lepers to prosperous gentry, Ernesto and Alberto discover an affinity for humanity within themselves, and a determination to change the world.

An awesome film of epic proportions. This story telling the doctor in training days of Ernesto "Che" Guevara is an emotionally involving and awe-inspiring gift. Gael Garcia Bernal gives one of his greatest performances as the asthmatic main character who along with his friend Alberto, plan to circle south america and work...
