"Deja que el mundo te cambie y tu podrás cambiar el mundo."
You ever notice how when things seem to work out, nothing is the same? When problems are solved, new problems always surface? Although things have cleared up and calmed down since my last post, I still can't shake this uneasy feeling.
(But inside.. really deep.. I'm not concerned about it at all..)
"Los diarios de motocicleta.." (The Motorcycle Diaries) I'm currently watching this movie. It's a film that tells of the travels Ernesto Guevara and Alberto Granado. It's a very "homely" piece if you ask me. I'm not very in touch with my "South American" side. I've only been down there once, but this movie kind of gives me that ambience of nostalgia. (Not really nostalgia, it more gives me an experience of where my father came from.)
You know it is true what I've heard. Nobody knows about "Che Guevara". To me it sheds light on how the media and "hip-hop" works these days. Jay-Z happens to wear a shirt with a man's face, with a red star on his beret. Next thing you know, everyone is wearing shirts with this individual's likeness. But who is he?
Why is it that society can be so impressionable and naive? At the time when "Che" was "popular", no one even knew the niggas name. And once they knew, they'd "try" and talk about him as if they were experts. It was horrible and demeaning. I felt like shooting Jay-Z. I bet Jay-Z didn't even know who he was. (But then again I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.)
But so goes life, some things are "in-style", and some things get "out-of-style".. I'm only sorry he had to be a victim of society's own stupidity. The same goes with Bob Marley. Why wear shirts and accessories celebrating the man when you don't know shit about him? (Damn posin' ass, wannabe, wankster, type-ill, mad conformist ass, fake mother fuckers.)
Anyway, the film follows Guevara with his friend Granado through South America. The two travel from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the Guajira Peninsula in Venezuela. They get into alot of trouble in their trip, but through much pain and anguish, they mature. On this trip they turn into "men". It stars the actor from "Padre Amaro", another good fucking movie.
It's not a bad movie. I recommend it to everyone.
