Fire of Liberty
If you're thinking about going to see a movie this Memorial Day weekend and aren't that fired up about X-Men, The Da Vinci Code or MI-III then I suggest you try to take find a theatre that's playing Andy Garcia's new movie The Lost City. Its basically a well written and directed movie about what a Cuban family(and the nation for that matter) had to endure at the hands of Castro, Che and fellow communistas during the 1959 Cuban Revolution. While a lot of Hollywood's luminaries yuck it up with Castro, Barbara Walters gushes of Cuban Health Care and Education and kids walk around wearing T-shirts emblazon with Che's face, there are individuals like Garcia(Who left Cuba at a young age with his family to escape the oncoming horror of Castro ) have made it the effort to produce a film that reveals that Castro and his right hand man Che Guevara are really monsters who engulfed Cuba in a revolutionary fire that has resulted in a "Worker's Hell" that has resulted in shear misery and death for the citizenry of Cuba. Now I know that Garcia's movie won't get a nomination for an Oscar or any praise from the folks in Hollywood but it is much to the true on Castro's regime than what his fellow actors and directors seem to put out on the Tropical Gulag" ninety miles off the coast of Florida. So try to catch The Lost City but in the meantime read this review by National Review Online's Kathryn Jean Lopez.
