Gael Garcia Bernal plays the part of the leading
character, Ernesto Che Guevara, in the award-winning film of
The Motorcycle Diaries. In the movie based on a true story,
Ernesto Che Guevara and his companion, Alberto Granado pile
onto Alberto's motorcycle as it carries them farther and farther
away from familiar and comfortable Buenos Aires surroundings,
to surprising and exciting destinations. Over the course of
eight months and 8,000 miles, what starts out as a lark becomes
a profound journey of discovery, not only of themselves but
of a continent filled with infinite sorrow - and infinite hope.
Once Motorcycle Diaries came out in theaters, Gael Garcia Bernal
pictures ( fotos Gael Garcia Bernal ) became ever more accessible
and admired.
