the central theme in this movie seem to be confusion and a the relationship and setting and act and social context all lead to the same place represent confusion . even harvey keitel appear to be out of his element and and lack his usual impeccable clarity and direction and intensity . to make matter bad and his character name be che and and we be only told ( directly and by the narrator ) well into the film that he be not that che and just a guy name che . the family relationship remain unclear until the end of the film and and once define and the family be divide the young generation off to america . so cliché . other review discuss how the movie depict the impact of the revolution on a boy family while however the political stance of the director be murky at best and and we be never quite sure who be responsible for what bloodshed . so they lose their property ( acquire by gamble profit ) so what . refuse to take a political stand and when make a movie about the cuban revolution and be an odd and cowardly choice . not to mention the movie be in english . why be all these cuban speak english . no wonder they do not get permission to film in cuba . and if family life be most important to look at here and it would be great if we could figure out who be who we be introduce to them all in the begin a cheap way out of make the relationship clear throughout the film . the acting be mostly shallow and wooden and and unbelievable and timing be off all around . the pecial visual effect be confuse and distract . reference to american film and the black character a greek chorus strictly gratuitous and intellectually ostentatious and and consistently out of place . i only watch the whole movie because i be wait for clarity and or some point to it all . it never happen .
