the trip that they take on a bike named, the mighty one. they from Argentina to Peru. a trip that only relies on them talking there way for things and for out of things, in short simply having a coming of age adventure. during them trip they visit the various sites around the Americas meet and interact with its people. having the ‘mighty one’ get busted, having to walk and take lifts most of the journey. this trip tested them their conviction to stay the path and not take the easy way only to acted as an eye opener and life lesson provider for our protagonist.

 “This isn’t a tale about heroic feats. It’s about two lives running parallel for a while, with common aspirations and similar dreams.”

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, 1952

this quote that starts the movie sums up the movie perfectly as there is nothing else that need to be said to explain its premise.

the story is showcased in a view point of the Our main protagonist Ernesto and how the peril of his fellow Latin Americans makes him realise his own calling and belief, challenging him and changing him on his journey for better or worse. all the while having a a companion that is with him through thick and thin.

a movie that makes you want to go on such a coming of age journey yourself to know yourself and the world we live, not just exist in it. the movie has amazing visuals of the natural beauty of the natives and people of the south america and the nature that surround its.

Wandering around our America has changed me more than I thought. I am not me any more. At least I’m not the same me I was.

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna

yes this is the true story of the road trip between two Friends that changed the life of a 23 old to become among the most iconic Marxist guerrilla commander and revolutionary ‘Che Guevara‘.

i would defiantly recommend this movie as its a movie that moves you with not worlds, but the visuals and worlds that it allows the viewer to see and experience, to see the way a simple journey held more weight on history than we can ever understand.
