SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Khurram Saleem The real gem of this movie is it's last scene. The Motorcycle Diaries is one of greatest and enriching movie with lot of great experiences. I've watched this movie lot of times. Above all It has the best ending scene. This movie change my perspective about America as a whole. Whenever we think about America, USA or Sometimes Canada comes into our minds because it's too mainstream. But America is more than that, This movie is about Latin America, about Che Guevara, About Friendship, About Hardships of Life. A must watch!!

Marc Israel This is a film that wants to paint the picture of Che Gueverra's epiphany. It wants to be important. Brazilian Director Walter Salles (Central Staion) knows the basic approach of telling a chronological story, filled with visuals which tell the audience as much as the dialog. The idea of two friends embarking on a journey that could never be completed on its original terms (travelling South America on an old motorcycle with hardly any funds or plans to earn their way) makes for the small bit of drama we get. And that's the problem. The future history is irrelevant to the movie experience unless you are told otherwise, and we are not. Our lot is an expressed realization of inequity and injustice through roadside interviews, nothing first hand. That's not drama. Our boys struggling to get along despite their circumstances and ideals (one wants justice while the other comically wants women) seems to be what we are left with. Our two leads, Gael Garcia Bernal and Rodrigo de la Serna are compelling and keep our attention as the ultimate road trip duo. The music enchants the scenes bringing you into these travelers shoes, but their minds would never accept events this way. They came from family money and protected upbringings. It is an endearing movie at times but the change that is supposed to be taking place on screen is still somewhere in the writers' screenplay, you would have to believe. And here that's what you have to do.

LIZ H This film really is outstanding! I love the music (Gustavo Santaoalla) If you love all things South American, Hispanic and love travelling you will love this film. Having spent a lot of time working in Chile and Argentina, this film really evoked lots of memories for me and although set in 1952, some things have barely changed down in Tierra del Fuego and other parts of Patagonia. Moving on up through the continent, the two encounter interesting people and get into some terrible scrapes. What would Ernesto's mother have thought!!! I suppose he was the good boy and throughout the film, we wonder if he will spend those dollars ......

subhasish christche This is the story of a young boy named ernesto,who was a medical student, and for his last semester intern ship he had to volunteering in a leper colony.and that boy travelled through the entire south America to reach peru to be a volunteer of a leper colony. this movie is based on the road diary written by Che Guevara while his trip, before he became che. Che travelled 14000 kilometre with a byke with his partner Alberto granado and it took around 8 months. while travelling some rural places he witnessed poor people living in a very pathetic condition. he witnessed coal miners having chronic disease. he realized his medical techniques cant solve this problem. he became convinced that the only way to bring about change way by violent revolution. logically this trip drives him to be the most iconic revolutionary in the world. while returning from the trip he includes in his diary "wandering around America has changed me more then i thought, i am not myself any more."
