Comment from a Brazilian, the same country as the director The Motorcycle Diaries is the best movie ever directed by Walter Salles, and I am a Brazilian. Brazilians always considered "Central Stadium" one of the best movies all time. I disagree, I think The Motorcycle Diaries is much more passioned...
Gael García Bernal is the roll of his life, much more focus. And I like very much "Amores Perros", "Y tu Mama Tamien" and "The crime of Father Amaro", they are well-made as Bernal performance.
See the movie, it´s great...and it´s not a commercial of socialism. It´s a true moment of Granado and Guevara´s life... And the real Granado, in the end, it´s wonderful...
