The Buena Vista Social Club:

This Movie was very inspiring the fact that these musician's used to be known as Cuban's best, only to be all but forgotten several years later. This is not my type of movie, I really did not like that it was all spoken in spanish except a little english at the end, and how I had to watch it and read the subtitles, this made it very hard to follow. Also Cuban music is not my taste in music so even after they interviewed each musician and then they played a song I just was not into it. I felt myself loosing interest in the movie pretty fast and it was hard for me to watch the entire thing, I did but it was a very long movie. The one story that I liked the most was the young man who taught himself how to play the piano from a very young age and later meet up with a neighbor of his who was blind and they ended up making beautiful music together, I thought that was very inspiring. Overall I did not think it was a good movie but no the less very inspiring how almost all these musicians taught themselves how to play their own instruments at a very young age.
