Today I saw the movie The Motorcycle Diaries, a movie about Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (better known as "[[Che Guevara]]" or "el Che"), travelling through South America together with his friend Alberto Granado in 1951/1952. The movie portrays a young and happy man who gets confronted with the social realities in South America. That makes him believe in a united South America, with no racial or monetarial differences. Many of today's kids having Che Guevara on their T-shirts do not know about his intentions, ideals and visions, they all should go and watch this movie.

From the authentic perspective, this movie is really good, showing the authenticity of the movie using original photos taken from young el Che and Alberto. Also, unlike unlike some other movie, the language is quite authentic: Ernesto is from Buenos Aires, and speaks authentic dialect, while Alberto comes from Cordoba (yes, the 1978 one), and speaks their local dialect.

I can only recommend "The Motorcycle Diaries", as it showed el Che's honesty, his social attitude, and his good side.

On a side note: the movie features yerba mate, which is pretty cool.
