The Motorcycle Diaries
Ernesto Che Guevara.
Several years ago,suddenly his name started to come to my mind from time to time.I think I had heard his name somewhere several times.Maybe I felt SOMETHING about him.
I looked up a thick English-Japanese dictionary.It said:"Ernesto'Che'Guevara-a Cuban revolutionist born in Argentina."Hmm...somewhat complicated.
A few years later,I found cool Che Guevara T-shirts at a large bookstore.I bought one of them.It was black and had 8 portraits of him(mustard,green,beige and red)printed at the front.A little like some of Andy Warhol's works.Also printed were these words...maybe Italian:
"in un anno di permanenza al Banco Nacional posso dire di non aver imparato nulla di bancario"
According to a translation site,it means"in a year of permanence to the Nacional Bench I can say not to have learned null of banking".Does it mean"Although I was the president of the National Bank of Cuba,I can't say I really learned about banking"?Maybe they are some of Guevara's famous words.
Anyway,I really liked the T-shirt.It was made in Italy.
And today,I went to see this movie The Motorcycle Diaries.The story of young Ernesto Guevara.The road movie where he and his good friend Alberto travelles through the Continent of South America with their rattletrap motorcycle.They meet so many people.Through the experience,Ernesto,a medical,changes his way of thinking...later to become a revolutionist.
What if a person like him were the President of a Super Power today?
