  The Motorcycle Diaries 2004

  ★★★★½ Watched 31 Jul 2023

  Getting closer to the road and to the land, 
  Getting closer to the wind and soil, to the dust and snow; 
  Getting closer to the gaze of the mining people, the giggle of the Peruvian girls, the handshake of the leprosy patients, 
  Getting closer to the lost, the dislocated, the dispersed — 
  Getting closer to the OTHER side of the river.
   ‘He is swimming TOWARDS us!’ 
  ‘Fuser, do you know what is your problem - your fking honesty’ 
  — and I always reserve my tears and heart for what makes life pounds and lingers like Gustavo’s guitar, authenticity.
