Those brilliant fim critics

[Borges]

In The Godfather II, the chaotic Havana streets at the time of the revolution were certainly a great backdrop to the central story at that point. Somehow it wouldn't have been as effective with a quiet Havana.

Terrific post, I love it when I learn something.

"The Lost City."

Seems like something worth watching.

[dinok]

I think I'll go see it.

Any film that shows Che as the monster he was, is on my must see list.

Che Guevara was a murdering pig who should have known better given his education. Therefore IMO, he was a consciously evil bastard.

I excuse the ignorant for evil, but not those who know better, and choose depravity and terror as their mechanism.

Great article, thanks for the post.

SOMEONE POST A REQUISITE PHOTO OF ANDY GARCIA, OR I'M HITTING THE ABUSE BUTTON! (note the all-caps).

Looks like Andy is trying to make the
NeoHollywood Black List.

Good for him! ;-)

[Nachum]

Now I will pay money to see this film.

[marron]

Hollywood has an awful habit of showing latins as cartoonish caricatures, and then lectures the rest of us about racism.

And Hollywood will never get communism right, and they'll never get pre-Castro Cuba right, and they'll never get Che and Fidel right.

They have a sort of "conflict of interest" there.

Oh, let's go to the movies. I haven't been to a good movie in a long time (I won't go to the Hollywood propaganda ones), but this sounds entertaining and honest. Give me some popcorn, a Coke and some Junior Mints, and we'll be all set.

[llevrok]

Heaven forbid that any one attempt to tell a story different than an urban legend.

What do the folks in South Florida say about the film??

[mozarky2]

Look, if we are truly an activist site, let's see the movie in DROVES, and if it truly is a good movie, tell our friends!
Folks, we need to be very ACTIVE on this! I, for one, will take my entire family.

[Veto!]

I've been to Havana, a lost city if there ever was one. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie. And to the demise of Castro. In reverse order, please God.

[pabianice]

Must see! When will it be released?

[speedy]

Excellent article, thanks for posting. As I recall, Andy Garcia was also quite outspoken during the shameful Elian Gonzales episode, too. These film critics are nauseating.

THE FOLLOWING CITIES ARE SHOWING THE LOST CITY

[eleni121]

Another great film. I will promote it to my film students. Thanks for letting me know Slickeroo! And thanks to Andy Garcia.

[Siena Dreaming]

Looks like this movie carries an opposite message to Redford's "Motorcycle Diaries".

Garcia vs. Redford...Gibson vs. Hollywood establishment.

I like these Hollywood wars and hope for more of them.
