This movie is about Reinaldo Arenas life- from childhood to his death. This is not your typical mainstream movie. At first, I was mesmerized how Reinaldo's teacher discovered his early talent and sense of poetry. But then-- I was shocked, he is gay. Pft, talented, artistic, attached with emotion guys are always gay. Well maybe not, a straight guy might be out their in Paris, Italy or anywhere that is poetic and artistic but is straight.
I love his devotion for writing and his experience in writing. I don't know about the Cuban History, but it is just sad that the society oppresses gay guys specially during the war. I admire his guts, his honesty and sense of authenticity.
And Johny Depp was there, oh how Reinaldo lust for Johny Depp.
This gives the audience background about the gay community on Cuba's history, but if you are looking for action, you will definitely get get get bored.
I rate this movie a 2.25/5
