The Cuban is one of the best films I have seen in a long time! The story is heartwrenching and Louis Gossett Jr. does an amazing job playing the main character. The exposition of the story is incredible and I loved how Ana Golja's character storyline intertwines with Louis Gossett Jr's to show the importance of friendship and music. The question of following the rules vs. trying to inspire passion in a person is a great subtheme of the movie and even with such a sad story, the ending was beautiful and made me cry happy tears.
