Movie Reviews of For Love or Country - The Arturo Sandoval StoryMovie Review: Arturo Sandoval , one of the greatest trumpeters ever. Arturo's Story. Summary: 5 StarsThis reviewer must be one of the luckiest trumpet players alive. I own one of Arturo Sandoval's former personal trumpets. Watch this excellent movie and you will quickly see what an honor it is to own one of Arturo Sandoval's horns. As for the movie, I am a trumpet player so what's not to like about this movie? This movie will give you a true love for Arturo Sandoval and his music, and for the Cuban people who unfortunately still till this day continue to suffer under an antiquated oppressive communistic dictatorship. Also, I don't think that Andy Garcia is actually playing a trumpet, the trumpet playing sounds like it is all dubbed in(Perhaps it is all Arturo?)
Summary of For Love or Country - The Arturo Sandoval StoryIt is 1990. The u.S. Embassy in greece is about to play host to a defector and the defector is about to play for his life. Based on an incredible true story the arturo sandoval story tells the powerful tale of a cuban musician with a trumpet a few scratched american lps & a dream that would change his life Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 09/06/2005 Starring: Andy Garcia Gloria Estefan Run time: 120 minutes Rating: Pg13 For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story chronicles the life of a man torn between his home and his devotion to his music. In a Golden Globe-nominated performance, Andy Garcia portrays the gregarious, passionate, and obstinate Arturo Sandoval, the Grammy-winning Cuban trumpet player. This HBO film shows how Sandoval's life in revolutionary Cuba is affected--beginning in the early 1970s--by his zeal for his music and by the limits placed on him by his homeland. Representing his torn loyalties are Dizzy Gillespie (the enigmatic jazz musician played by Charles S. Dutton) and Sandoval's wife, Marianela (played by the beautiful Mia Maestro). Gillespie embodies the freedom to follow one's dream, while Marianela represents family loyalty and the ideals of the Castro revolution. Yet, the same regime his wife embraces forces Arturo to play government-imposed music instead of the jazz that he loves. Sandoval travels the world, and while the Cuban government profits from his success, he is exposed to a freedom that eventually draws him to the difficult and life-changing decision he and his family feel compelled to make. Against a backdrop of beautiful scenery and exceptional music, For Love or Country provides a harsh depiction of revolutionary Cuba, its outmoded lifestyle, and the restrictions placed on its people. --Mindy Ruehmann
