Review of Comandante (2003) by Joel A — 02 Oct 2012
The very natural, filmed 'as is' documentary more or less showing plainly the conversation between Fidel Castro & Oliver Stone in February 2002.
When watching this documentary you need to understand that Castro has a pistol on him & if he is angered he can & will shoot the person responsible & with that in mind the risk Oliver takes in asking certain questions.
This documentary showed me two things, 1) Fidel Castro is not a stupid man he is quite intellectual & articulate and surprisingly charismatic at times 2) He is controlling & delusional & somewhat of a victim of narcism.
This is very factual (well in Castro's eyes) and rather talky, If you are interested in cold war, early 60's then it's interesting to hear his side...
