Want to change the world?
The system keeping you awake at nights?
Let the world change you and then You can change the world.
Before you navigate away from this page, let me just tell you this refreshingly classic movie,
Senor el la Senoritas I present you
The Motorcycle diaries.
Have you seen this person somewhere?
Maybe on someone's jeans, or bag, or handgear on a dorm room poster... but who is he?
Senor Che or to be respectful : Earnesto Guevara
Let's not get personal now..I'll talk about Che later..
but a little Geekology O-O:
The movie is about a diary that traces the early travels of Che Guevera(23 year old) and his friend Alberto Granado (29 year old) then, to travel 8,000 kilometres (5,000 mi) across South America on an old 500cc single cylinder Norton motorcycle which messes up often. Travelling through the heart wrenching conditions of miners, communists and people affected by leprosy in Latin America. Guevera was a hero in a man awakened by coming face to poverty, injustice, exploitation and pain.

Hmm, so it's not new setting up a movie after the life of a rebel or a national hero, for anyone out there who doesn't happen to know che, go read his wiki please!
The cinematography, acting, music and scenes are amazing as the director Walter Salles convinces us of the journey about 50 years ago... the sad part is South America is still the same :(
Here is what actor Gael García Bernal has to say
"We were re-enacting a journey that was done 50 years ago, and what's surprising is that the social problems of Latin America are the same. Which is heartbreaking in a way, but it also makes you feel how important it is to tell the story."
The music is awesome and refreshing, it will take back to your teenage when you wanted to change everything, or even now if you aren't already given up! Great tracks by Gustavo Santaolalla

Che quotes ^_^
"You gotta fight for every breath and tell death to go to hell."
"What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land"
"All of them, all those who can’t adapt – you and I, for instance – will die cursing the power which they helped bring about with often enormous sacrifices. Revolution is impersonal, so it will take their lives and even use their memory as an example or as an instrument to control the young people coming after them…you will die with your fist clenched and your jaw tense, the perfect manifestation of hatred and struggle, because you aren’t a symbol (some inanimate example), you are an authentic member of the society to be destroyed; the spirit of the beehive speaks through your mouth and moves through your actions. You are as useful as I am, but you don’t realize how useful your contribution is to the society that sacrifices you."
