subhasish christche This is the story of a young boy named ernesto,who was a medical student, and for his last semester intern ship he had to volunteering in a leper colony.and that boy travelled through the entire south America to reach peru to be a volunteer of a leper colony. this movie is based on the road diary written by Che Guevara while his trip, before he became che. Che travelled 14000 kilometre with a byke with his partner Alberto granado and it took around 8 months. while travelling some rural places he witnessed poor people living in a very pathetic condition. he witnessed coal miners having chronic disease. he realized his medical techniques cant solve this problem. he became convinced that the only way to bring about change way by violent revolution. logically this trip drives him to be the most iconic revolutionary in the world. while returning from the trip he includes in his diary "wandering around America has changed me more then i thought, i am not myself any more."

David Traversa Everything has been said and more, so I will only add a grateful comment for such splendid entertaining time I got by watching this excellent movie. The Brazilian director Walter Salles did a fantastic job with a theme and locations quite hazardous and yet all the scenes seem to be as real and spontaneous as life itself in which we are participating as one more of the crowd; whatever the amount of technicians surrounding the actors they seemed to be nonexistent.Gael García Bernal as Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Rodrigo de la Serra as Alberto Granado and all those actors from Argentina, Chile and Peru were simply perfect in their roles. The locations, spectacular, although they were not the prime object to be photograph as it could have been the case in a documentary, they just happened to be there and we appreciated them.I noticed that one of the producers for this film was Robert Redford, but he didn't appear in any scene as an actor.If the real life "Che" Guevara was like the character in this film and did the things he did ending up as the myth that everybody knows, I don't know if that was so (nobody knows) but if he did, it's funny the similarity some of these personalities have in common, like Mahatma Gandhi or Eva Perón, when they only turned away from established society and fought for the poor when they suffered themselves grave injustices. Very entertaining movie, superbly done, beautiful soundtrack and excellent, well balanced script.

irualSaji A very nice film by Walter Salles and a talented cast. The film succeeds in portraying in detail the events that Guevara himself witnessed during his travels. As someone who knew quite little about South America, this film was an eyeopener. Salles shows us a glimpse of what life is in parts of South America. The landscapes are gorgeous and the people enchantingly human. The relationships that the duo encounter along the journey are very well captured on film, bringing the viewer into the story. While watching the film, I felt that I could understand what Ernesto was going through. Works well as a film that embraces the viewer from the very beginning.
