By watching the Motorcycle Diaries trailer (or Motorcycle Diaries trailer in Spanish ) you will see that Ernesto Guevara's The Motorcycle Diaries is not the travel journal of the man who would become one of Time Magazine's "icons of the century." Rewritten by Guevara several years after the journey took place, it is a memoir. As seen in the Motorcycle Diaries trailer (or Motorcycle Diaries trailer in Spanish ), the entries from his travel diary depicting the events and people encountered on the trip, combined with his ruminations on their later significance, provide a rare opportunity to witness the retracing of a remarkable man's destiny and the solidifying of his identity from its earlier state.

In the Motorcycle Diaries trailer ( or Motorcycle Diaries trailer in Spanish ) Redford comments, "The Motorcycle Diaries seemed like the perfect way to collaborate with Walter, especially since Che Guevara can be such a tricky subject. I knew Walter would handle the story with lyricism and humanity rather than focusing on the politics of who Ernesto would later become."

In the Motorcycle Diaries trailer ( Motorcycle Diaries trailer in Spanish ), to balance the film's portrayal of the two main characters, Rivera drew from both Guevara's travel diary and Granado's own account of the trip. Unlike The Motorcycle Diaries, Granado's version is not a memoir. Rather, it contains the actual entries documenting his observations on the road. The immediacy of Granado's journal was instrumental in not only reconstructing the events that took place within its pages, but also the personality of the charismatic man who wrote it.
