VHS Movie Reviews of Cuba (1979) [VHS]
Movie Review: It Blows
Summary: 1 Stars
During the Cold War the best propaganda films in favor of Communist totalitarianism did not come out of Moscow or Beijing, but from Hollywood. This film is just such a one and you have every cliche that any totalitarian-loving liberal will love. It doesn't have any truth with the reality of Cuba? Hey, when did that stop liberals? Like all good Marxists, they will simply rewrite history (in this case via film) in order for "history" to conform to their totalitarian ideology.
Summary of Cuba (1979) [VHS]
One of Sean Connery's least-seen films, this Richard Lester vehicle manages to be both politically astute and darkly funny at the same time. Set in Cuba as the Castro revolution is coming to fruition, it stars Connery as an aging mercenary trying to decide which side it pays to be paid by. Even as the Batista government is being overthrown, he is putting the spark to an old relationship with a factory manager (Brooke Adams), while American businessmen (particularly a well-cast Jack Weston) scramble to get the most bang for their buck. Lester's style--playing dramatic scenes while subverting them with comic business in the background--is in top form here. But this film never found an audience; too bad. --Marshall FineAction & Adventure VHS Video
