A decent Movie : The Motorcycle Diaries

A semi-biographical travel adventure film that introduces the person who has become the greatest cult symbol for youngsters.
The movie tells you how Che Guevara became the person you know. It depicts the travels he went on to discover South America and in the process got connected to the people and their lives. These were the things which brought about a change in him and made him 'Che'.
You will see how this movie is definitely in Ashutosh Gowariker's mind when he made Swades. I don't say that its a remake or anything, but one can easily find similar treatment, camera work and effects to portray an individual's changing perspectives on life and lives of others, lives of people he never even knew existed.
The acting and direction are decent enough. Editing could have been better. Screenplay is average. Nevertheless, the movie is worth a watch definitely. It will definitely make you think. Your guide to a socialistic ideology and the things its based on.

A decent 7.5 on 10 for this non-english travelogue.

Recommended to people who want to know whose picture they were on their t-shirts and to people who like lumps in throat knid of moments in the movies. :P
