Well comming from a Cuban family, I have a bias opinion about Fidel. Like many of the other students, I was raised entirely in a Cuban family and therefore I have heard an endless amount of criticism about Fidel and his lack of concern for the Cuban people. My grandparents and father where born in Cuba and my grandmother moved to Miami when my father was four, in an attempt to protect my father from Castro and his tyranny. The move to Miami caused the divorce between my grandparents because, my grandfather was a supported of Castro and communism. A couple of years later he was arrested in Tallahasee and imprisoned for 7 years for conspiring against the United States. He was a spy for Castro.
The stories my grandmother has told me about Castro are horrific. My grandmother used to have a 2 story house with a farm, and was forced to leave all those things to Castro and his government. Aside from material things, she has also told me stories about the countless innocent lives that Castro and his regime took. Basically, ever since my childhood I have been conditioned to identify Castro as well as communism in a negative manner. I dont think that any positive ideas about Castro, from the movie, although may interest me and promote me to reserach into Castro and his reign of terror, will change my opinion about him or what he stands for.

I will only give you half credit for your attempt at responsibility and entering something instead of nothing.
