Fidel (2001)
Pure Puff
This film is nothing but a puff piece for Castro. It was obviously produced and written by leftists. I kept waiting for some sign of non-biased reporting of Castro, but it never came. It made no mention of any of Castro's atrocities, murders and crimes against humanity. There was no mention of his murder of two Americans over international waters, no mention of the lack of voting rights in Cuba or absence of the right to protest. The film shows interviews with a number of leftists and Castro sympathizers, but no serious comment on the damage Castro's revolution has done to the island and its people. I am sure that if you are a leftist you will like the movie. I personally thought it was garbage.
¿Qué pasa, U.S.A.? (1977)
Great Show!
Actually, this show was intended to help newly-arrived Cubans learn how to speak English. The show was in Englsih and Spanish musch like Cuban-American households. The children on the show spoke mostly English and the parents mostly Spanish. The older characters spoke as much Enmglish as they could and _wanted_ to learn English, but as we all know it is easier to learn a language when you are younger than when you are older. The fun of the show was in the way the older characters tried to deal with the younger characters in a new land and everyone's attempts at becoming American while remaining Cuban.
