5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just About the Cars!, June 4, 2011

This review is from: Carros Classicos de Cuba: Yank Tanks (DVD)

This story is just as much about the vintage cars of Cuba as it is about the people who own and repair them. In that way, it is very much like a love story. Necessity imposed by the embargo has forced the Cubans to stretch their abilities to not only repair but to manufacture needed parts from scratch!!!

While more satisfying for Spanish speakers, the subtitles and the faces will tell you all you need to know about these dedicated and clever people and their fantastic cars.

This review is from: Carros Classicos de Cuba: Yank Tanks (DVD)

Written and produced by two friends, and reviewed once upon a time by Jay Leno. While a little dated now, really not much has changed in Cuba and the story is just an amazing slice of life about Cubans and their 1950's time warp and love of big American cars. The love of cars has no political boundary.

I was looking forward to buying this but then I saw it on netflix and I was disappointed,instead of being apolitical on focusing on the beautiful cars we have basically a documentary on cars and on how the embargo should be lifted,then you have a non-Cuban(South American/Central American or Mexican) Interviewer asking mundane and silly questions as if a Cuban would dare speak out against Castro Inside Cuba! it even starts bad with "in 1959,The brutal regime of Batista" to that effect, Brutal Dictatorship to another even More brutal. then the non Cuban Hispanic poses a Question "So you operating your own business Inside a Socialist Country"? How can one operate anything as one said they do pay taxes,Cuba is not a Utopia,it used to be beautiful,it has beautiful women,cars and Now not because of an embargo but a tyrant,These cars are what you have,but look for yourself and you will see miserable people behind the smiles. (there are very few who are enablers.)and Yes The Cuban is an inventor,but to showcase cars and then have an anti-embargo message with Pro Castro Leanings,Sorry I wanted to see cars not more of the same utopia myths.
