The Motorcycle Diaries/Diarios de motocicleta

Robert Redford continues to leave an enormous and positive imprint on cinema. This time by helping to finance one of the most amazing films dealing with the transformation in the consciousness of a human being (actually, the transformation of two human beings) --- the overdetermined effects of experiences, of nature, of the accident of being in the right place to trigger a powerful, almost magical, opening up of the perception of realities (including exploitation --- a phenomenon that is programmed out of the consciousness of the Norte Americanos) that might otherwise have remained invisible and the way a specific human being (two humans, really) took those realities into his (their) consciousness, made it part of who he (they) was (were) and, in the process, changed the way he (they) acted upon the world. The film in question --- The Motorcycle Diaries/Diarios de motocicleta. It is now available on DVD, so if you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.
