The Last Supper Cuban Movie Edition 5 Stars Worthy

The Last Supper Cuban Movie Edition 5 Stars Worthy

A few months years ago, I watched the Last Supper. It is a Cuban colonial parody of Jesus's last Supper. One day, a colonial master decided to try a little experiment. He choose 12 slaves to have a Supper with him. Via example, he wanted to teach them a Catholicism. He chose as his Judas a slave that had tried to escape 7 times, and failed.





The dinner was pretty peachy and the ending pretty bloody. This movie brings to light the contradictions between Catholicism and slave society. The Catholics had to remake their religion in order to make it ok to enslave other men. My favorite part was when Judas said his lines. He pretended to be asleep or quiet for most of the party.

However, when his master slept. He spoke as thus. He told the Yoruba story of the creation of truth and lies. Oludumare, the creator made truth pretty strong and lie weak. He felt sorry for the lie and thus he gave him a machete. One day, the lie decapitated the truth. The truth searched for his head and found the lie. He took the lie's head and now the truth walks with the head of the lie.

He argued how the truth and the lies are all mixed up. He warned them against taking their master's teachings seriously. They may sound like the truth, however, they are used to excuse lies. In any case, the Last Super is a 5 stars worthy old Cuban movie. I recommend it to all who have a taste for the colonial period.
