Its a right given to you by your government, and if your government disappears, you may no longer have that right, just like the Cubans had that right taken away.
BlueFire, the movie is not kind to Batista and they show how Batista's corruption and love of gangsters like Meyer Lansky led to Cuba's downfall, but its very objective in comparing the differences in between basically bad traded for far worse. No one liked Batista, but to compare his regime to Casto's is like comparing a wet willy to a public hanging. Freedom literally disappeared under Castro, for everyone, not just the rich. Two million Cuban refugees can't be wrong.
What I love is that they show Che for the murderous, power-mad piece of shit he was and they show how Castro lied to his own people, promising a return to the constitution Batista trashed to gain support for the war, and instead installed a Stalinesque totalitatrian regime.
In the end, its a personal story of a musician who loved his country and saw it ripped from underneath him through corruption and deceitful revolution.
