StoneKeeper's Super Awesome Movie Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1102 [Strawberry and Chocolate (1993) Winner: MonStar]


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords.

MonStar wins with Strawberry and Chocolate (1993), a great Cuban movie about the issue of gay rights in Cuban society and how it fits into the framework of the Cuban revolution. It's about a young communist who meets a gay man who he's initially suspicious of due to old prejudice, but gradually grows to accept and befriend. The movie had a profound impact in Cuba in helping to accelerate the emerging gay rights movement in the country and its acceptance by the Cuban Communist Party.

Strawberry and Chocolate (1993)

You win! Well done! Seems like you win on all my threads lately lol.

reply

It has actors speaking a couple lines in English and French, but whatever. I deleted my post from several minutes ago guessing the movie, so that's what I get for second-guessing myself.

reply

It does? Oh. That's... a mistake on my part. Sorry about that. : /

Just playing

reply

No worries. Par for the course. It was all fair. :-)

reply

I honestly didn't remember any English or French being in the movie. That's what I get for relying on memory rather than looking closely at the IMDb page.

I'm glad there's no hard feelings, though.

I'll be more careful in the future.

reply

It's probably better to say "primarily Spanish." A lot of Indian and filipino films have a little English.

I can start a new game, if the time is right. Or it can wait. People may be in different time zones.

reply

This thread was pretty active, so yours ought to be as well. I say go for it.

reply

I probably should have worded it more like "from a non-English-speaking country".

reply

Trust me, they speak English in Cuba.

reply

Oh yeah, I know, lots of people do, but it's not the country's native language. I guess that's what I meant.
