That's the message from this hugely entertaining and heart warming motion picture 'Motorcycle Diaries'. The movie is a dramatization of motorcyle road trip across South America by Ernesto(Che) Guevara in his youth that showed him his life's calling. Well, the movie got me all interested to know more about the life of this mystery man who is so little known in the western world but had so much to contribute in the third world socialist movements.
He was an Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary and Cuban guerilla leader. He was a member of Fidel Castro's movement that seized power in Cuba in 1959. After the Cuban revolution he incited other movements in Congo and Bolivia. He was later captured by the CIA and put to death. After his death he became a hero of socialist revolutionary movements.
The movie is a great tribute to this little known Hero. The gorgeous travelogue depiction of diverse Latin America(Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Peru) calls for a big-screen watch.
