Good ReasonsTo admire the extraordinary cinematography
To learn about Communism and the Cuban Revolution
Less Good ReasonsTo impress your friends
who have been watching flimsy rubbish
such as 'Sex and the City'
To sing Cuban revolutionary songs
and annoy your father
Bad reasonsTo watch your mother
putting on hand cream and then say
'Your hands were made for the plough
...not for killing...'

Because your mother dated Francis Ford Coppola in college and you have very mixed feelings about them breaking up.
I think I'd rather see this than SATC....just between you and I!
I should see this? It sounds thought provoking and substantial. Why have I not heard of this moofie? I appreciate theheads up, thanks!
I feel rather out-of-touch with all things kinematographic. Do you know, the last film that I saw was 'Brief Encounter'? (I was underage at the time, too - I went for the music!)
How pertinent. I've just come back from Prague and found it very aging to realise that I had more experience of communism (albeit of the very limited tourist variety) than the teenagers serving me coffee. Anyway, I've become fascinated by the rise and fall of communism and even dug out some of my school history books, now I can add "I am Cuba" to my resources list!
Because you harbour a secret desire to visit Havana?
Because we were in Havana this year and found the whole experience amazing.
I'd love to say that to my mother, but since she has probably used some form of a plough to excess it might fall a bit flat.
I'm still going to say it though (but under my breath in case she hears me).
