A Quote by Fernando Perez

From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of
inspiration to all freedom-loving people.

That ability to just continue on.

People inside the theaters usually, not 100 percent but most of them, enjoy the movie. Usually they come with a small negative view. In a way, they're prepared to get bored because it's silent and because it's black and white. So they are much more pleased to be entertained in a way. They're very happy when they go out. This was my job. For the other ones, I can do nothing except screen the movie and hope that they will say to their friends that it's not so [bad].
