Console best movie i've ever seen.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

zzzorf I can see how this movie is a favourite of a lot of people. The actors played the roles extremely well and were aided by a decent script. The entire movie was shot well and everything seemed to be exactly what you would want in a good movie. The problem however is that the movie was not for me. I struggled with it not overly enjoying the ride I was taken on. This is not a knock on the makers of the movie, as I said they did a good job, its just I personally didn't really enjoy it much.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2004 and directed by Walter Salles, "The Motorcycle Diaries" chronicles events in 1952 South America when 23 year-old medical student Ernesto "Fuser" Guevara (Gael García Bernal) and 29 year-old Alberto "Mial" Granado (Rodrigo De la Serna) embark on an 8000 km trek across the continent from Argentina thru Chile, Peru and finishing in Venezuela. One of their main goals is to serve at a leper colony deep in the Amazon. The experience shows how Ernesto came to be called "Che" and cultivated his Marxist revolutionary ideology.I hate communism because, while it sounds good on paper, it just doesn't work in practice. It's a demotivating system that ensures everyone's equally poor, except of course for the ruling state class, which essentially becomes communistic royalty. To all intents and purposes they are the reviled "bourgeoisie" and the common people are the "proletariat," both of which communism sought to eliminate in the first place, which makes communism hypocritical. Furthermore, communism leads to all kinds of suffering and corruption, like waiting in long lines or bribing doctors and sellers for services & merchandise. Sure, capitalism has its downside, but it's an all-around superior system, which is why people from communistic states flee to capitalistic countries and not vice versa.Five years after the events of the movie, Che became a major figure in the Cuban Revolution, which history has proved to be thoroughly negative for the Cuban people. Che was sincerely compassionate toward the poor and his intentions were good, and the movie depicts this, but the answer he came to, communism, was intrinsically wrong. In short, his "remedy" was way worse than the problem he meant to cure.That said, the movie isn't really a political polemic, but merely a snapshot of Che as a young man, illustrating WHY he chose his radical course, mistaken as it was. It's an entertaining and informative nigh travelogue of South America, not to mention top-of-the-line filmmaking. Unfortunately, although Che's an interesting character, the constant bickering of the protagonists loses its appeal after the first half and the movie's encumbered by its annoying and wrongheaded propaganda, slight though it may be. It's like the flick tries to justify Che's politically-motivated slayings, which he later committed as a revolutionary (directly or indirectly) and admitted to doing out of "pure hatred."THE FILM RUNS 126 minutes and was shot in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela & Cuba. WRITER: Jose Rivera wrote the script based on the diaries of Che Guevara & Alberto Granado.GRADE: B-

BasicLogic Don't even know how to describe this stupid film, because I simply can't comprehend what's the real purpose of making it.What we got here are two stupid young men who thought they are the pioneers to travel the south and north American by riding an old, totally unreliable motorcycle to broaden their views of their future. One of them is even a poor con artist, trying so hard to bullshit all the way. The other one is just like romantic fool, a peacock with a more decent character, even thought of bringing a puppy for his love one. Both of them are terrible bikers, they crashed their miserable motorcycle so many times, even crashed into muddy trenches, gutters or creeks with deep water. They don't seem to have any mechanical knowledge of a motorbike, yet every time they seem to have no problem to fix a badly crashed one. They don't even know when to slow down on dirt turns of the country roads. And I don't know how they could and would broaden their lives' prospect since all they could do is just concentrating to stupidly maintain inappropriate speed, trying to reach some unknown places with food and lodging. The road trip never educated them a bit. They are still who they are from the beginning before they start the journey. I simply couldn't buy anything from this pathetic film, trying to tell us that it's the trip that has formed a great revolutionist in the making. That's total bullshit! I would never believe anything what this film targeted to us: A long road trip on a junk motorbike could make you different, especially when these two morons don't even know where and how to set up a tent during a stormy evening.

ginny-daugherty Motorcycle Diaries is film that beautifully combines peaceful wanderings, urgent passions and thought provoking personalities. The former life of Che Guevara is one that seems at first to be quite distant from his future revolutions in Cuba but upon reflecting on the film, the connection in his passion and hope can be seen. The film does just what it intended do remarkably well and beautifully. It draws out the personality of Che and causes viewers to connect with him and even hold him in high regard. By displaying him as one who is following his passion, has a heart for what is right, and stands up for humanity above all else, Che is given a chance to be seen in a different light because of Motorcycle Diaries. The peaceful yet often chaotic travels of Che and his companion, Fuser, draw viewers in to the immediate beauty of their story. The times when Che becomes angry portray his deep passion to stand up for what is right, often by contrasting him with Fuser or other characters holding onto the status quo. Che is seen as a person who almost everyone wants to be: intelligent, passionate, caring and adventurous. He is not immortal but he is in almost every regard, better than those around him. These elements of character development and plot fulfill the intent of the director to change the view of Che by those who oppose communist revolution. The supporting elements in Motorcycle Diaries are also extremely important in giving it an exceptional rating as a film. The best word to describe the scenery and music the film is simply beautiful. The calm scenes pull at the heartstrings of the viewers who long for such beauty for themselves. The intense and upbeat scenes are supported by excellent acting that enables the passion of the film to also be seen as beautiful. By uniting these two beauties and supporting Che's passion, the film succeeds in supporting that for which Che stands. Since is caring actions are seen as beauty, so are his passion filled words calling for a revolution for a united America. If this were said without the build up for the rest of the film and all of its elements working together, Che would yet again be dismissed as a revolutionary communist who only did harm. The intricate build up of the film however, can convince the viewers that Che's opinion has merit. This is something that is quite difficult for a film to do: allow a viewer to agree with a character even when they might immediately renounce those opinions in any other setting. The viewers do not want to associate themselves with the nuns and doctors who stay on the other side of the river so they engage deeply with Che, a personality that outside of the film they might despise. Whether or not this opinion stands after the viewing of the film is difficult to assess but Motorcycle Diaries sure did its job extremely well: Che Guevara became a human being that everyone could relate with.
