Fidel (2002)
A Reactionary Reading of a Revolutionary
15 January 2005 - 9 out of 19 users found this review helpful.
This film was well done technically, although the bias was so prevalent toward posing Castro as a monster with a gentleman's intellect that it felt fictional to anyone who understands modern Cuban history, not necessarily even sypathizes with Castro.
So, one can put this film on top of the pile of disinformation concerning Cuba and Castro that has been building devotedly in Miami by the displaced Cuban business class who fled Cuba long ago.
Castro is a controversial figure that inspires ideas and debate, not two-dimensional character assassination. His greatest friend in the world is Gabriel Garcia Marquez afterall.
I noticed another reviewer said Castro was worse than Saddam. This should prove my point quite clearly.
