The Motorcycle Diaries

went to the Dendy Monday night, and saw this film. Quite enjoyed it. But was left with a few questions.

I am not very familiar with Che Guerava. Never studied him in History, and haven’t read about him in leisure. The film gives a relatively sympathetic, positive view of his character. This is idealism? The film provides glimpses of the journey that would create a revolutionary. In particular, a resonating line for me was is it possible to feel nostalgia for a world you never knew.

Did Che betray his youth? What happened to the revolution he sought to create? Why are people passionate about him today?
