The Motorcycle Diaries

I will get back to social networking, as promised.

But I want to comment on the movie. I am afraid that most English speaking Americans will only see some great cinematography behind a coming off-age story.

Please do try to look past, at the socio-political commentary and the points it tries to make. I would like you to judge for yourself, but I have to say that there are reasons why communism exists. Concepts like ownership, buying, selling, when they become all we know; end up controlling us.

I wonder if, increasingly people are judged by what they buy instead of for what they create. What we hoard, instead of what we teach, define us. I find myself no better.

But at least I wonder why...
