Impressive list, thanks. It's got "The Good Shepherd", "Che" and "Thirteen Days", but is missing lots of others.

Posted by: Facto on Jun 22, 21:11 in response to lobogotti's post for your viewing pleasure....(not exactly what you were...

For instance films with subplots relating to this, such as, again, The Godfather II, X-Men: First Class, Cuba (the Sean Connery) one and lots of others, I'm sure (including for instance the Brazilian made mini-series - more like a movie - "Fidel", which funnily enough featured Gael Garcia Bernal as Che, and was an over-all very good effort; highly watchable).

Also, Motorcycle Diaries is not in there - it's not about historical drama, but more about some of the background and personal life of Ernesto Guevara, before he became Che.

Please help me out: Best Cuban Revolution (the ongoing one) films or TV/mini-series of all time. Is it Soderbergh's Che double feature.. ? Facto Jun 22, 19:51

it's not a revolution, it is marxism=failure, everyone is starving kboxr88 Jun 22, 20:19

Wasn't asking for political opinions at all, dude. {nm} Facto Jun 22, 20:42

oh yeah, I've seen MDiaries....I have a friend that refuses to watch it (because of Che) and we argue about the film all the time. {nm} lobogotti Jun 22, 21:13

I've met plenty of those types. I used to debate a lot of them in a FB group called "Che was a mass murderer, and your t-shirt s*cks". Facto Jun 22, 21:24

Btw, perhaps I layed the ground for some misunderstandings. By "ongoing revolution", I meant to separate it from Cuban revolutions prior to Facto Jun 22, 21:03

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights? {nm} RazorHawk Jun 22, 20:23

I believe my sister and mother enjoyed that one together... They are both completely uninterested in history, geopolitics etc. Facto Jun 22, 20:45

X-Men: First class, even touched upon this to some extent, although more the "Thirteen Days" part of it, than the revolution before and unti Facto Jun 22, 20:47
