Didn't hold my interest very much. Kinda seemed just like a movie to show how wonderful of a person Che Guevara was. Could somebody be that selfless? Sure I guess. Who knows. I have a hard time believing in perfectly unflawed characters.

Walter Salles is such a great Director and Gael García Bernal & Rodrigo De la Serna are just brilliant! Watch this film before you buy a Che Guevara T-Shirt kids!
After a drawn out beginning, there unwinds a much more meaningful tale. It would be easy to give up on this one near the start, but feel it?s worth sticking with.
My biggest disappointment was watching it on Film 4, where they failed to put up all the sub-titles and left pe...( read more)
"Wandering around our America has changed me more than I thought. I am not me any more. At least I'm not the same me I was. "
Che Guevara is a historical person that most of us know. This movie is a road movie that tells the story of a young Guevara, on a journey across South Am...( read more)
It's a great movie, with a great story. At my point of view, doesn't matter if it's all true or if it's just to make a god out of Che's image, the movie is still good.
Hope it'll live up to my expectations...
This was the turn-around in Che Guevara's life. This trip made him leave the US and the doctor's career that was laid in front of him to become a revolutionary figure... as you can see, expectations are high ;)
A brilliant film, well worth seeing. It is subtitled but I don't mind that. Very well directed, filmed, and acted. The scenery is amazing as is the people in the film.
Very pretty, but I felt quite lost in the plot and nothing really truly stuck with me.
It's got poetry to it -- the poetry of humanity. full review
Call The Motorcycle Diaries more hagiography than biography if you like, but it's undoubtedly a beautifully crafted and heartfelt one. full review
Interesting in the manner of a travelogue but simplistic as a study of Che's political conversion. full review
It's a trip nobody should miss. full review
Walter Salles's stirring and warm-hearted film reconstructs a journey across South America taken by Ernesto Guevara before his career as a revolutionary. full review
a mildly stirring coming-of-age drama enhanced by its gorgeous travelogue depiction of diverse Latin America full review
The insertion of documentary rigor into something as ravishing as The Motorcycle Diaries smacks, I fear, of the picturesque. full review
A mesmerizing look at an asthmatic, rich-boy medical student in the act of discovering his insurgent spirit. full review
che, va onda eh! pero... Alberto Granado si era porteño... pero el Che Guevara no era cordobés... nacio en Rosario, Santa Fe.
Esta es una crítica que me toca muy de cerca, tal es así que me veo obligada a escribirla en el idioma del corazón. En mi caso el castellano. La segunda causa para hacerlo… es un homenaje a la misma película, inspirada en un porteño y un cordobés que pensaban que podían cambiar el mundo.
Podría calificar esta película de diversas maneras, pero me faltarían epítetos. Desde el comienzo del film me saltaron las lágrimas en los ojos… quizá sea la añoranza por mi ciudad querida. La relación del Fuser con su familia la viví como si fuera la mía, esa cercanía típica porteña en la que todo lo que uno hace lo hace con pasión, y muchas veces no hay puntos medios entre el amor y el odio.
Después, su idealismo. Cuánta nobleza hay encerrada en el ser humano, si tan solo oyéramos nuestra conciencia! Algo que el Che intentó hacer a lo largo de sus viajes por la Patagonia y Sudamérica, con el único deseo de ayudar a su prójimo, sacrificando posición social, comodidades, afectos… anteponiendo los intereses de los demás a los propios, haciéndolo con esa humildad y sencillez que engrandece al ser humano. Una historia que sinceramente merecía ser contada.
Ahora bien, Gael García Bernal, ya no es más mi actor favorito, sino casi un héroe de la cinematografía contemporánea, (y no me importa si es gay o no, hehe). 10/10 a su acento, fue una poderosa y completamente emocionante actuación. Un derroche de talento podría decir. Excelente.
Sound Track… como siempre Gustavo Santaolalla, como productor musical, es uno de los grandes de le escena musical de rock hispana no nos podría defraudar. Sonidos autóctonos y profundos. Conmovedor.
Sin mas intención que describir lo mas humanamente posible esta obra de arte, mi única recomendación es que es una película que uno tiene que mirar libre de prejuicios políticos, ya que esta es solo una historia de dos viajeros a los que la injusticia del mundo los inspiro a tratar de buscar un bien mayor para toda la humanidad, cuyo único error fue probab
