a brave new world

motorcycle diaries is just a great show. people should all just flock to watch it.

che guveras pre-cuban revolution days. as he embarked on a road trip like none other. exploring the latin american region that he belonged to. the idealism in the 23-year-old doode then.

it's all too contagious. the idealism and how strong their convictions were. and as i watch the film unfold itself, it was like seeing sociology and geography being manifest in its life forms.

and then there is the cinematographic techniques. the colours. the sequence of the incas civilisation. the black and white still shots of the native indians -- which are black and white because they represent his mental snapshots of them.

all too surreal. all too nice. all too good to be true.
