unmaking of a movie , “Timeless Havana” a director’s abortive attempts to capture the change in Cuba(from communism to capitalism)

Here is the movie which spoke of the past but stumbles with present and completely silent on future. Here is the movie just not enough comfortable to deal with the change. Transition just could not be captured in its frame, script simply failed depict the moving over from one era to another era. And the director is at a loss. , at its wit’s end. The result a complete black out, a repetitive takes on each and every scene. A normal chasing scene never gets completed. The friend never find her old buddy, the comeback woman never cleared her dialogues to her native guide. And while kissing was not convincing, the intimate scene simply did not go right. It was too simple, too straight in the age of chaos, crisis and change. And lastly being frustrated the director gave up and told the actor and actress to get out of the frame , run out of scene and move out of the movie. It was the unmaking of a movie to capture the transition. It was the mirror of the past which shatters the present reality and shadowed the future completely. The memoir of the age bygone just overwhelms the recent time such a way that present simply cannot be framed anyway. The true story of the past which existed so pervasively, just did not allow the present to crystallize , stripping of the least cognizance the new age deserves. It was the shadow that kept looming larger and larger that the reality which never got or gained its due shape or size. It was the movie of failure of the people of Cuba to understand the transition from communism to capitalism; it is the post Castro aspiration and ambition of the people there in Havana and so Cuba which simply kept elusive even in celluloid. It is the unmaking of a cultural shift , a real life dilemma being captured with same confusion in the reel also. It is the anger, anxiety and hopelessness well tied and untied and then simply abandoned by the director in the movie Timeless Havana, a movie which captures a director’s dilemma rather than his cut or astuteness. The movie is more about Director Jeissy Trompiz , his helplessness , his submission to his inability to capture the time of turmoil from socialism ,  regulated , regimented society to a chaotic and confused country infested with initial euphoria and so embedded chaos of capitalism. The country which never spoke out its mind in open , the country which believes in shared purpose , shared wealth and shared progress suddenly got its kick of liberal , free flowing endowment not as entitlement fixed and formatted by the country but endowment and earning derived and decided by the individual.The movie tried to showcase this abortive attempts to make a movie on this transition with calculated obliteration of clarity with its two manifestation moving in parallel .One  is  about so many decades of conviction and so codification (hard) with socialism and communism and the other is about  the undercurrent of greed, garishness and gaudiness of capitalism.
