In 2024, continue my 1000 film project!
Hello everyone, I'm billion! Today I recommend to you the 43rd of the 1000 movies: "Motorcycle Diaries".
During the Spring Festival holiday, do you eat and drink at home, or visit relatives and friends for New Year's greetings, or go out on a trip?
In the vast sea of shadows, there is a film that is like a bright star, attracting the audience's attention with its unique charm. This is the film "Motorcycle Diaries" directed by the talented director Walter Sellers and starring Gal García Bernal.
I've watched this movie three times!
It's not just a film about travel, it's a deep spiritual journey that makes us re-examine our relationship with the world.
Set on Che Guevara's trip to South America, the film shows the adventures and insights of two young people in a foreign land.
In 1951, in order to see the American continent in the book with their own eyes, 23-year-old Guevara and his 29-year-old friend Albert set off from Argentina on a Norton 500 motorcycle and traveled along the Andes Mountains across South America.
It lasted 8 months, spanning 5 countries, with a total distance of more than 13,000 kilometers, passing through Buenos Aires, Chile, Peru, Amazon, Venezuela and ......
Guevara was a medical student specializing in leprosy at the time, and Albert was a biochemist.
Along the way, the magnificent South American scenery, the unique Inca culture, the shocking ruins of Machu Picchu, and the leprosy villages in the depths of the Amazon made them see the richness and poverty of South America at the same time, and also made Guevara realize that studying medicine cannot change the status quo.
Che Guevara, a high-spirited and ambitious young man, not only experienced the customs of the South American continent during his travels, but also gradually formed his own worldview and revolutionary ideas through exchanges with the local people.
The film's narrative is unique, and through Che Guevara's perspective, the audience feels as if they are in an era full of passion and ideals.
The director skillfully uses the language of the camera, combining the magnificent scenery of South America with the simple life of the people, creating an atmosphere that is both romantic and realistic.
The film is enhanced by the outstanding performance of Gael García Bernal, who successfully portrays a young man full of enthusiasm and passion, which moves the audience.
In the development of the plot of the film, we can see that Che Guevara's worldview is constantly changing. He gradually grew from a young man full of longing for revolution to a staunch revolutionary.
This change did not happen overnight, but was gradually formed through exchanges with people of different cultures and different strata. This change also allows the audience to see the great power of revolutionary ideas, which can change the fate of one person and even the direction of the whole world.
The movie "Motorcycle Diary" is not only a film about travel, but also a film about growth, about faith, and about revolution.
This film not only has a profound connotation, but also has a strong practical significance. It reminds us how we should stick to our beliefs and dare to pursue our ideals in this era of change.
The values conveyed by the film are also worth pondering. In today's society, materialism is prevalent, and people often ignore the enrichment of the spiritual world in pursuit of material interests.
However, "Motorcycle Diary" tells us that true happiness and satisfaction come from inner fulfillment and firm faith. Only when we have the right values and beliefs can we continue to move forward in the journey of life and continue to pursue a higher realm.
But at first it was really hard to compare Guevara to that bearded look.
On October 9, 2017, people from all over the world gathered in the city of Santa Clara, Cuba, to commemorate Che Guevara, a revolutionary who was killed 50 years ago.
No one in this world can become a popular symbol in the world after death like him.
His image transcends country, class, gender, and age to become a spiritual totem.
His avatar is given different meanings in the eyes of different people. His avatar represents freedom, romance, rebellion, and fanaticism.
Those who loved him sang his praises and worshipped him as a spiritual leader and life coach, and those who hated him denigrated him as a brutal warlord.
But overall, "Motorcycle Diaries" is a film worth watching again and again. It not only allows us to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the South American continent and the simple life of the people, but also allows us to see how a young man grows up and strengthens his beliefs during the journey.
Finally, if you can, go ahead!
