It was ever long since i wanted to watch this film, but laid my hands just yesterday.
The motorcycle diaries, as i came to know in the ending credits is a tale about che guevera and the events which triggered his revolutionary road. So it was easy when i started it as just a tale of two guys riding the continent on their motorcycle.
The film deals aptly with the metamorphosis of a simple graduate who's just excited to undergo this road trip in search of girls and wine all over america, but ends up seeing the real native south america.
There are scenes which completely justify his metamorphosis like the one in which he swims the amazon to be with the lepers, and the scene where his pain is depicted through an asthma attack, but somewhere it lacks the pricking effect which should underline such a massive change in a 23 year old guy.
Overall the film is GOOD.Both the lead actors acted really well. Although i feel some threads are left incomplete like that of the leper girl sylvia.
The movie has pace and no sequence looks like a wasted one. So, it has some nice editing.
Its a film i wont mind watching once. And the best part, the director choses to tell the story only uptill the trip ends.
Not making it a Lakshya-type mistake.
I'd rate it 6.5/10. Marks included for some good locations too. :-)
