The Oscar goes to....
I watched The Motorcycle diaries last evening. I have been wanting to watch it for the last six months but kept missing the movie and finally 5 days after the DVD release, I managed to grab a DVD and saw the movie. The movie chronicles a motorcycle journey from Argentina to Venzuela that would revolutionize the thinking of Che Guevara, a communist leader in the cuban revolution. I think both the lead players- Gael García Bernal, Rodrigo De la Serna - have put in a tremendous performance. The movie is in Spanish and is sub titled in English. The movie is in running for The Oscar for best adapted screenplay.
The movie strangely reminded me of Anbe Sivam, a throbbing movie in which a communist and a capitalist become bed-fellows due to circumstances and the movie walks you through their minds as they travel from a flood hit Orissa to Tamil Nadu. The self-centered capitalist eventually starts thinking outside the box and contributes his bit for the society. It is indeed a good piece of work in Tamil where it is rare to find anything offbeat. I am sure some of you will point out that the movie was a remake of a popular Hollywood comedy but to transfer these movies into Tamil and make it culturally relevant is a challenge in itself.
It was quite a journey
