The Motorcycle Diaries
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: *1*
- Commentary: Although this movie is a very recent purchase, Mom and I have already watched it twice. I had planned on watching it alone, first, guessing that it may be a quiet, subtle road movie that would be disappointing to someone (like my mother) whose preference is for action road movies. Mom noticed the box, though, read the back and wanted to see it immediately because it mentioned traveling through Latin America, which is something my mother has always wanted to do. She was surprised at the shape of the movie but enjoyed it anyway. The next night, last night, she discovered the box, yet, again, read the back again, and insisted on watching the movie again as though she hadn't yet seen it. Afterwards, I insisted that we watch the short interview with Alberto Granado, which we both enjoyed. As the interview closed, my mother said, "He's still dancing," with pleasure and approval.
