You know, while it makes sense that this movie would be pro-revolution it doesn’t necessarily make it okay. Let me make it clear I dont think Cuba should be owned by the US like it basically was. Im American so I know little about it from my own experience, but my girlfriend's family was murdered and robbed by Che. I don’t see why you consider not accepting that as ignorant, when really to accept that would seem quite ignorant to me. This is a government that threw "effeminate" men and those who publicly spoke out against Castro into special camps. That’s hardly the kind of thing that I think most liberals or conservatives watching this movie would support. Tolerance may be a valuable virtue, but there’s just no justification for the kind of totalitarianism Castro is pushing for. Im not saying this because Im from the US. Lord knows the US has plenty of problems backing dictators such as Batista, but that being said though, this movie, as any piece of art, should stand on its own. I thought it was for the most part poor, but not really offensive or too overly political for that matter. I just watched it in Spanish w/o subtitles so I don’t recall that much of it, but I have seen it with English subtitles before, and I don’t recall it being about much more than two children who wanted to be friends and remain together. So regardless of what I just said I don’t think its necessary to get all political about this movie. If you’re like me and you have a problem with the Cuban government there are better ways to voice your concern than to complain about this silly thing. I voice my concern because other people brought it up.
