Re: The Motorcycle Diaries
 

I have it on DVD and just haven't got round to watchin' it.

Re: The Motorcycle Diaries
 

It's pretty good. Some of the best bike crashes ever :mrgreen: Doesn't really go anywhere, but it's a nice road movie, and mostly true.

Re: The Motorcycle Diaries
 

Be aware, the motorcycling bits don't fill the movie. The Norton is a bit part rather than a feature!

Good film none the less.

Re: The Motorcycle Diaries
 

The film also used local people, who had never acted, it really adds to the atmosphere of it all.

Brilliant book too, and I've read his friend Alberto's book about the journey, very sad at the end as he wrote that he knew he'd never see Che again when Che flew off to Miami. The end of the film uses Alberto as he is today. Had me in tears.

And the music is fab too.
