The fact that the Nobel Peace Prize was not awarded to Cuban doctors this year is an injustice of the highest order.
True
I would agree, but that implies that the Nobel peace prize wasn't already a complete farce. Love or hate Obama, he was given a peace prize despite invading 7 counties and ordering an airstrike that killed another Nobel peace prize recipient. It would be unfair to put all of that at his feet since the US is a plutocracy ruled by the rich and Military Industrial Complex, but still, it is rather damning evidence that the Nobel peace prize is a farce.
It's unreal how magnetic Iwan Rheon is as a performer. It takes one breath away
Great speech by a great man,wonderfully voiced by a great actor
I know Iwan's voice is wonderful, but I couldn't stop looking at those beautiful eyes :)
Absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much for doing the absolutely wonderful revolutionary man that was Fidel Castro, justice. I can assuredly say that this further reminded me that history certainly did absolve him. Fantastic acting, and fantastic delivery. Great job man. Viva Fidel! Viva la revolucion! Hasta la victoria siempre!
And it has, comrade. Rest in peace, in power.
Hasta la Victoria Siempre!
Thanks, Almeida for these speeches. And well done to Iwan on this one in particular!
Brilliant job Iwan, I could listen to you all day.
Wow. Clearly, I need to learn more about history and present of Cuban people.
Yes
I'd love to help you learn. If you'd like.
Start by reading the whole thing ;)

From one monster to the next. This shouldn’t exist as a way to encourage you to a side but to acknowledge history. Batista was a monster. Castro was just a different breed.
@@thesmylexfrontG A "monster" that led a revolution which taught the Cuban people to read and to stand independently against the world's largest empire.
Damn Iwan Rheon is talented.
THAT IS PHENOMENAL!!! The writer, the actor ABSOLUTELY GENIUS. I got goosebumps throughout. I will never forget this .
The writer is Fidel Castro 🙂
@@Velveteenvision can you help me to know about cheguevara?
@@kandimallakotaiah4601 I ask people to do the same thing for me, and everyone has so many different things to say. He’s an icon and a hero to some, but to some more (Cubans *seem* to think this ->) he’s an anti-peace tyrant.
When you do learn about him use scrutiny and discretion. But you probably know to do that by now. A lot of misinformation, you know..
@@BizzleyBear hello thanks for reply in this period I came to know a lot about him I don't care what others says about che .he is always an universal humanist to me (universal person,marx and che)
@@BizzleyBear if you’re not cuban don’t speak on what Cubans think of their politicos. You don’t know.
so powerful....
God bless you Commandante
Hasta la Victoria Siempre
Fantastic speech but I am very distracted by how good that jumper is and where I might get one...
Who knew Ramsay Bolton made a good public speaker...
anyone who watched game of thrones?
@@_STNML yep
☭ long live castro ☭
Castro was a monster
@@thesmylexfrontG yeah he killed so many Koreans and Vietnamese and Cambodians and Laotians and backed the apartheid state of South Africa and funded the murderous, rapist, village-burning contras with the profits of illegally selling arms to ayatollah khomenei. He tortured so many people in Guantanamo bay and Abu grahib and toppled the democratically elected government in Guatemala and Chile and Iran and flooded Jamaica with guns and encouraged and aided mass murder in Indonesia and turned the most prosperous nation in Africa into a slave market. Absolute monster.
@@RedSyrup66 Nobody said the USA was blameless. Anyone romanticizing Castro is a damn fool period
@@thesmylexfrontG Castro is only a monster to fascists and gusano scum. Meanwhile, people like you gladly support a war-mongering genocidal regime like the USA, gotta love the irony.
@@rentedguccimink1948 Castro is romanticized because he deserves to be. Lay off the Red Scare propaganda, liberal.
Westerners will cope with this, and the gusanos
Life Path 3. Me and Fidel we're so alike
How so?
The way this is read reminds me of how people read Shakespeare monologues. Anyone else?
Well, this series of videos star Shakespearean-trained actors and actresses. Ian McKellen, Andrew Scott, Derek Jacobi, Fiona Shaw. I agree that it helps give weight and authority to have actors perform these speeches like classical monologues.
Reak?
based
At the very end,
"Come, Reek. I'll be needing a bath."
Oh Fidel, rest in power, you magnificent magnificent man. None have ever challenged empire as you have, none have come as close to break the façade of the "free world" as you did. Hasta la victoria siempre Commandante. Your mortal husk may have died but your ideas will live on for a thousand years. Wherever the people find themselves disenfranchised YOU ARE THERE, wherever the downthrodden find themselves ground down by the machinations of capitalism YOU ARE THERE, wherever men and women struggle for dignity, freedom and the most basic human rights YOU ARE THERE. Viva Cuba, viva Fidel, viva la revolucion!
Ash...am I pronouncing it right ?
his lips are odd but cool video gangy
I hate Castro. But Iwan makes this speech very interesting.
hayley Marie whoa whoa gusano
hayley Marie whoa whoa you hate the character propaganda has spun for you
Evan Nesbitt there’s great ignorance in this one
Regardless of what he became, when he made this speech he was a hero.
@@lankylanky1833Yeah, he wasn't wrong about Batista.
There is no "his truth." I hate it when people say this shit
Castro was a horrible person but he does make a good speach
When he actually wasn't a horrible person, but you believe whatever Americans tell you about him
horrible if you're a gusano fuckboi
He was a piece of shit dictator who didn’t die soon enough , is not American propaganda I am a Cuban myself I saw it with my own eyes like I said a piece of shit dictator who should of died 60 years later. Fancy speeches and starving people were his best talents
Yoni Mc
Ok boomer
Actually, he was a great person and the people he killed deserved it, especially whatever dumb bastard gusano you were related to.
So much emotion, so little substance
The real speech is something like 50 pages. Among st the pages is a very real and practical manifesto for Cuban revolution. Probably wouldn't make for an entertaining youtube video tho
Lame!!
The Perez Hilton no u
