Havana Oh Na Na

.

Watching such a movie on the plane

function is hypnosis

The effect is very good [you are enough

Probably because of its hand-cranked photography

and rough to grainy yellowing

Remembering Adele lyrics

"We were born and raised,

in the summer haze.”

.

Gay Cuban Castro prison smuggling into exile for AIDS

There's so many reasons to make it a poignantly satirical song

However not

Director Julian Schnabel uses a documentary-like approach

Deliberately downplaying the unease and restlessness that belonged to that era

And focus on the male protagonist and his delicate

[Full score for Javier Bardem! Great acting, my God!

.

I like all kinds of empty mirrors with lines by Reinaldo Arenas

Create a very South American style

I like flashbacks from time to time

Show the real struggle of the hero

I like some explanations that tell the way the protagonist looks directly at the camera

Bring a touch of lightness and humor to a heavy atmosphere

.

However, the artistic treatment still makes the film seem a bit difficult

The first half was supported by the idea of ​​"hold on with Depp behind"

【.

Hahahahahahahaha, women's big, you can compare with Lee Pres

It's really cool that one person plays two roles

Give you crazy lights

.

The second half gradually makes people want to follow in the footsteps of the film

to explore the fate of the hero

to feel his feelings to recall his memories

Orgy indulgence recorded in some deliberate slow motion

It is the true portrayal of the young people of that era.

.

So I started to think that this approach makes sense.

Cuban-born gay poet Reinaldo Arenas

Sensitive and delicate

Published his first novel at the age of twenty

He was banned by the authorities because of his sexuality

"As if he didn't exist"

The rest of his work was published overseas by smuggling abroad

He even went to jail several times

Ended up in exile in New York for being unfit for the revolution

Died from AIDS

47 years old in 1990

Three years later his memoir "Before Night Falls" was published

.

I love a dialogue in the movie

Lazaro:

I want to die at the end of the day

In the high seas

with my face towards the sky

when it seems like agony is just dream

and the soul, a bird ascending in flight.

Reinaldo:

Who is that?

Lazaro:

Manuel Guitrez Nera. Mexicano

.

Before night falls

The sea is a pink sky

There is a bird named freedom

hovering in flight

Pain is but a dream

Before Night Falls quotes

  • Reinaldo's Mother: Reinaldo, would you be sad if I died?

  • Reinaldo Arenas: [narrating] Leonardo da Vinci was homosexual, so was Michelangelo, Socrates, Shakespeare, and almost every other figure that has formed what we have come to understand as beauty.
