Well, Germany has been staunchly apologist, politically, since World War II. They generally try to avoid any mention, depiction, etc, of past deeds save to sheepishly say, "Yeah, we did very wrong" if pressed. Consequently, they weather depictions of their ancestors with a tolerant reserve.ReaperzXIII said:
I'm not advocating censorship, but it's not unfathomable how Cuba would be upset about a ultra-mega-blockbuster smash hit depicting the (attempted) assassination of their charismatic leader, who still lives - historically accurate or not. They've been economically starved and oppressed under the boot of the US for going on half a century. I'd imagine that breeds a very different mindset about these kinds of issues.
That said, I feel sympathy for the Cuban people, not the Cuban state. Their government has had a pretty shady track record, with a few highlights like abetting the escalation of nuclear war and other times where Che Guevara (popular campus liberal freedom-fighter icon that he is) personally oversaw the operation of around-the-clock death squads who executed more political prisoners per capita than STALIN, after Castro's climb to power.
These observations are a bit off topic, but the subject got me thinking.
