The movie is based on the life of Ernesto Che Guevara (the early days)...
For those of you that don't know Guevara was an Argentine doctor who abandoned his profession and his native land to pursue the emancipation of the poor - the Motorcycle Diaries is based on his first journey throughout South America and the injustices he witnesses along the way.
Sadly, on October 9th, 1967, Ernesto "Che" Guevara was put to death by Bolivian soldiers, trained, equipped and guided by U.S. Green Beret and CIA operatives. His execution remains a historic and controversial event.
"Che was the most complete human being of our age" - Jean-Payl Sartre
Makes you realize how useless and pointless your own life really is....
