None of the film "The Motorcycle Diaries" takes place in Bolivia, the part of Latin America where I've spent the most time. It was based on diaries from 1952 in Argentina, Chile and Peru. It looks so familiar, though. It makes me sad to see how the situation of the indigenous people shown hasn't really changed much since then.
It's no surprise that Ernesto "Che" Guevara wanted to start a revolution after his travels. Sure, this is a fictionalized representation of his travels in 1952, but I would suggest that the situations portrayed were real enough. Uno se queda triste a verlo.
