Motorcycle diary

I recently bought a book called "The motorcycle diary" which is the story of Ernesto "Che" Guevara traveling through the Latin America together with a good friend. It is interesting to see the man behind the mith and travel with him in a period of time where he wasn't "El Lider maximo". I highly recommend it as an interesting read that will widen your perspective about this man.

I watched the movie, to be honest, was bored to death by it.

But to revive a theory from 2006, for certain movies (of which Motorcycle Diaries is an example), MBTI personality type has an influence. I am a strongly "J" personality, and so movies without a proper conclusion (like Motorcycle Diaries, Broken Flowers, Lost in Translation) are not appealing at all - at the end we wonder "what was the point of the movie?"

Whereas "P" types (and I know Paul is a "P" type) enjoy these kind of movies. They seem to prefer open endings and draw their own conclusions - or being P, maybe they don't draw a conclusion at all

True :) I didn't see the movie but I am almost done with the book.
It is prety open and leaves the reader with his own conclusions you J type!
