Walter Salles Director

previously directed Behind the Sun

Based on the biography of a young Che Guevara, The Motorcycle Diaries follows a young Che as he goes on a road trip with an old friend and learns that there may be more to life than just being a doctor.

Trivia:

The motorcycle used by the real life pair was a British-made Norton International, which had a 500cc single cylinder engine. The director revealed that they found, restored and used such Nortons except for the crash scenes where modern Suzukis were made up to look like Nortons and christened "Nortsukis". The director revealed that whereas the old Nortons were unfailingly reliable, the modern Suzukis were forever breaking down.

Quote: Ernesto Guevara de la Serna

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