[edit] Old talk

Whew! I did my best to clean this up - I'm kind of interested in the film now however! - Ta bu shi da yu 12:36, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Oh, I am sorry Tabu, I forgot to pass it throught the officce spell checker, as I usualy do. I know my written english is worthless... --Alexandre 18:13, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No, not at all! This is an excellent article and the beauty of Wikipedia is that an expert can dump all their knowledge onto the wiki, then lots of people can assist with copyediting. Please, keep up the good work. Only one thing: could I ask where you got your sources of information from? We'll then add this to a references section. See Cite your sources for the sort of information we need. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:03, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well most of the things I got from watching the film. The rest from random pieces of information (an article in a local newspaper, small blogs, talking) wich cannot be cited.. Thanks, but something I am not is an expert. I am very glad to see how the article grew up a bit. I suggest you to see it, you'll probably love it...

[edit] Capitalization of title

Typically verbs, even short verbs such as "am," are capitalized in titles, so this article should probably be called I Am Cuba. However, if the film or its promotional materials specifically uses this capitalization, then it is still acceptable. Is this the case? Derrick Coetzee 04:18, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I don't know! I didn't realise this, and moved the article beforehand as Cuba had not been capitalised... anyone else know? - Ta bu shi da yu 09:58, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I went ahead and fixed this. I'll move it back upon any reasonable protest. Derrick Coetzee 16:08, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Coffin tracking shot

It said that the camera was passed from person to person, but this would have been imposible for the last pard where it leaves the window and continues through mid air. Prehaps wires were used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof. Finn (talk • contribs) 12:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
