More thoughts on "The Lost City"
- Glorious architecture and design for the family mansion.
- The live singing in the movie - was that modern singers or ancient well-preserved recordings? I want the OST!
- The really tragic character was the old male cabaret dancer who threw his shoe at the communists for closing the cabaret. Fico's loss was primarily ego, secondarily economic. But that dancer's soul was being crushed.
- Aurora's dresses were unbelievably gorgeous. She was pretty hot her self
- Funny how the Fidel haters see this as a movie depicting how horrible Casto and Che were, while the pro-Cuba people see this as a movie as a more mixed bag. Which probably means that Garcia did a pretty good job in balancing things.
- I don't see why people hate the Jester character (Bill Murray). "Ran" had one, and did it right, and showed that epics need a bit of absurdity to keep things in balance.
