Day 3: The Motorcycle Diaries

An artsy period piece about the young life of Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The film touches a little on Guevara's revolutionary spiritual awakening, but focuses more on his humanitarian side and his scrupulous and sometimes brutal honesty. It's slow paced like many a biopic, but never unpleasant. I always try to remember when I'm watching something historical that there's not necessarily going to be a moment when "something happens" per se. No twist endings or dramatic showdowns. Just some beautiful scenery and a lot of subtitles.
