Notes on what particular subject on The Motorcycle Diaries?

Themes? Techniques? Inspiration behind the film? Historical analysis?

It's such a wide, wonderful resource, so you'll have to be a little more specific, I'm afraid :)

i really advise you go to WRITES your own notes, the best way to remember things in terms of long term...

research context-- che guavare, history of cuba and south america....

watch film with the context knowledge

analyse important scenes that demonstrate the physical journey... or contribute to it... a sense of progression

- remember camera techniques, mise en scene all the cinematoography techniques.
- how the techniques convey meaning.
- what does that scene or shot suggest in relation to physical journey.

and before hand all this when you're watching think of the themes of physical journey......... OBVIOUSLY.

write your own notes dude. it ain't that hard.

The film concentrates of Ernesto as opposed to Che, a common misconception is felt they are both the same person - but really, they're both very different people.

they're both the same person. LOL.

read the case cover-- adapted from the best selling autobiographical novels by ERNESTO 'CHE' GUAVARA.

how closely did you analyse it???

Lol, they're the same body but they both have a different outlook on life. Ernesto is a very naiive boy who doesn't quite know what he wants in life. Che, on the other hand knows exactly the meaning he wants to place on his life, who he wants to represent, what he wants to do. You could call it a journey, but i think its just a whole transformation of him as a person. To call it a journey would be doing an injustice to the enormity of the situation and what he became.

So, same body - different personas. Yes, I've been analysing it VERY closely.

Yeah, I'm doing modern history too, so it lets me look at a different perspective of guevara.

Gael Garcia Bernal wasn't bad looking either ;]

some good tecniques are the geographical shots throughout the film. They really depict the physical journey undertaken. The part at the end where che swims across the amazon is really important as it basically sums up the whole journey that the central characters have undertaken. Also the photjournalistic black and white freeze frames at the end demonstrate the harshness of Latin America and the effect this has had on the people and on the central characters. They were able to learn so much from the physical journey undertaken though Latin America - The journey allowed room for significant personal growth
