Vroom goes my inspiration…
‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ screened in the open at 1am, projected on the workshop wall. Reminded me of the open air theatre experience at Tarapur. The concept of traveling on a bike has always appealed to me, now after the movie it’s become a burning ambition. It’s a very touching story of how a person can be touched by what he sees. Also, the message coming across is how the world and its inhabitants change our goals and ambitions. Each interaction with another makes one a different person. The cinematography is breathtaking and immersive. The technique of showing memory as a black and white visual is very clichéd, but yet it manages to deliver the message across. Humanizing a famous personality is interesting, as it reveals other facets of their personalities and ideologies. 
Gael García Bernal as Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (Che Guevara) is very convincing, especially his asthma attack scenes :). At the crux of it all, its all about humanity and compassion. Amores Perros starring Gael García Bernal is also a must see.In movies, "THERE'S A WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF", rightly said I opinionate.

Exactly what i felt abot the movie.
Just finished the book. Its really quite different from the movie. They have manipulated a few facts to make a movie out of it. On the other hand, the book, being a diary, doesnot make a very serious effort to capture the sights, which the movie does briliantly. Wont say a "Must read" bit if you are a great fan of the man and/or biking, traveling rough, the only way its beaningful, then your SHOULD read this one.
