Oliver Stone, probably one of the most relevant filmmakers of the last decades in the United States, has been trying to get the American public one of the most ignorant and alienated populations among developed countries into alternative sides of what in the USA has been called the "official story". Comandante is not an exception in that aim, and it may approach the viewers to some topics that big media corporations and the military-industrial complex have been boycotting through the years in order to avoid the public to ask their government about some big questions. Stone's filmography evidences his own interest in the last half of the recent century the half he was born in and the events, after WW2, that bring the United States to become what we know today, and the plots that in his own words diminished individual freedom and democratic values in "the land of the free and the home of the brave!" Position for which he has often been criticized "for promoting conspiracy theories and alleged historical inaccuracies." This documentary is an important effort, now that Fidel Castro one of the 10 most influential politicians of the last century is probably close to the end of his life. Some analysts have said that the 20th Century will have officially ended after Castro's death.
