Lisa Lynam / Motorcycle Diaries

This movie was very interesting to watch. Ernesto Guevara was a well off young man soon to graduate from college with doctorate in medcine. During the begiining of the movie I feel that Erneseto was a cold climate person. He had many ideals of what the world was in books but needed to go and venture out to find out the real world. Ernesto and his friend Alberto go on the adventure of there life to go and volunteer at the Leper colony. Both men were restless nature with much imagination. Ernesto was a warm spirited person, with alot of compassion and caring for any individual. He wanted to help people no matter what. One part of the movie that seems to prove his leadership is when the doctor told them to wear gloves at the Leper colony and they refused. The did not feel it was necessary because the could not catch the leperacy, although the nuns were upset they didn't fight much. Ernesto was not afraid of the sick population and that showed during the movie when he swam across the river. He was not happy that the sick and well were separted. during the whole movie Ernesto was the most honest person I've seen, he could not tell any lie. Ernesto felt that hter was a great injustice inthe world with th eincrease of the indigent population and felt he needed to help them the most. The one scene that also help shape Ernesto into a leader is the birthday party and he changes to a warm climate person in giving toast and telling the colony how this party given to him, even though they only knew him 3 weeks was like they were family and that was the best part of it. Again this was agreat movie to watch.
