Hello.
:28:28
He left after his brother
made the film "P.M."

:28:32
You've heard about it.
:28:33
The brother had to leave, too.
:28:35
Simple film.
:28:40
Just a group of people
dancing and getting drunk.

:28:45
It made no judgments.
:28:49
It made no judgments.
:28:52
People that make art are
dangerous to any dictatorship.

:29:00
They create beauty.
:29:03
And beauty is the enemy.
:29:06
Artists are escapists.
:29:09
Artists are counter-
revolutionary,

:29:12
and so you are a counter-
revolutionary, Reinaldo Arenas,

:29:16
and you know why?
:29:20
Because there's a man
that cannot govern

:29:24
the terrain called beauty,
so he wants to eliminate it.

:29:27
So, here we are, 400 years
of Cuban culture

:29:30
about to become extinct
and everybody applauds.

:29:34
And what happened to your lip?
:29:36
I found somebody who doesn't
like French music, that's all.

:29:39
Be careful.
Be careful.

:29:41
No, no, no.
Keep it--

:29:43
He would love for you
to have it.

:29:47
There are 150 books that
contain everything

:29:50
that literature has to offer.
:29:52
You read them and you don't have
to read anything else.

:29:55
So which book would
be the first?

:29:56
"The Bible."
You have to read the Bible.

:29:59
Oh, croquettes.
Ooh, MarĂ­a Luisa.
