Popular Culture in Latin America
Strawberry and Chocolate was a rather engaging film. Despite some choppy modifying and some scenes that were a little inconclusive, the film overall is a strong commentary on the flaws of the Cuban Revolution, and may even try to function as a constructive criticism for any future bids of the leftist movement.
At first glance David is the archetypal Cuban Revolutionary. He is a student in college, someone who believes in the Revolution unquestioningly. When David meets Diego, David sees not a person, but an enemy of the Revolution, someone whose existence is antithetical to his values. But as David gets to know Diego, he is able to see that Diego is someone just like him: someone with values and aspirations. Diego functions as a critic of the shortcomings of the Revolution, by being one of its main victims. Diego represents the oppressed homosexual man, a figure desperate to dwell, angry and discontent at the deprivation of his autonomy. Diego is the artistic, compassionate, charitable side of the Revolution.
As David learns to overcome his homophobia and listen to Diego’s grievances about the exclusive, phobic, short-sighted revolutionary
Beyond Fresa Y Chocolate: Diverse Culture in Havana
The Revolution in 1959 brought sweeping changes to Cuba. Most notably, the nationalization of the economy, free learning process and healthcare, and the literacy campaign. However, the egalitarian Cuban dream did not actually belong to everyone, and one such marginalized group was the LGBTQ+ community.
Sodomy was outlawed and openly gay individuals were interned in concentration camps to keep them separate from the repose of society. Such a draconian history has traditionally made Cuba an incredibly unsafe place for non-cis and non-heterosexual individuals.
Things are changing, however. The sodomy law was repealed in 1979, and, in line with the rest of the healthcare system, gender reassignment surgery became both legal and free to anyone in 2008. Furthermore, Mariela Castro, the daughter of the current president Raúl, has made her notice as a public figure by becoming a vocal advocate for gay rights in Cuba. She heads the National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), which works towards tolerance on LGBTQ+ issues in the country.
