Cuban writer and filmmaker Eduardo de la Llano announced on Monday that he will not continue posting on Facebook and was fired with a critique of the song “Homeland and Life.”
“I bring you news that for some will be good, for others not so much: I will not continue to post on Facebook, I’m leaving this shit. On the one hand my personal circumstances have changed, it is no longer so easy for me to get refills“It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that it’s become more difficult,” De l’Llano said in a video.
“I’m sick of the opacity, the mediocrity, the greyness. So ‘Homeland and Life’? Pussy, how could it not have happened to us? We who thought death was such a rich thing. ‘Homeland or Death! How rich it is to die! Pussy, really, thank you that these people told us that living is better … “, He said in reference to the song by Yotuel Romero and other Cuban artists.
“I wish it was that simple, gentleman. I wish it were so easy that ‘Cuba is a country full of repression, of misery, that we are starving’. Also ‘the only country in the world’ because for these people the world is divided into countries that live well and Cuba. I wish it was that simple. If so I would be more angry than the people of St. Isidore. And believe me that’s a lot to say, ”he added.
“There is a group of people who follow my posts carefully and respectfully, they may or may not agree, but I always have a healthy debate in them. But most of the time i feel like i’m throwing daisies at pigs and i’m bored of it“, He said.
“I’m sick of people saying ‘no, because you’re trying to get along with both sides, swimming between two waters, you’re bipolar.’ I consider myself one of the freest people on Facebook and the internet. Really I say what I think on one side and on the other, I say what is wrong from one place to another, ”he said.
“Most of the shingles on the other side I do not say are paid by the CIA, some will be, but in their fury to give the latest news simply put a band of the truth and for them Cuba “It’s just an endless association of scarcity and repression. And the so-called ‘cyberclaris’, who are the people who justify everything and everything is fine, just like that. They also respond to an agenda,” he said.
Eduardo de l’Llano said he did not respond to any agenda. “I say what I think is right or wrong from both places. My sympathy is with the left, but I do not justify everything that is done on behalf of the left“, He added.
The filmmaker said that it is only achieved with his attitude that they hate you from both places. “I’m fed up with this beast. I’m a writer and a filmmaker (…) I’ll continue with my work and you can really put your Facebook where it fits. Like one day I change my mind and go back to the arena but I seriously doubt it. It’s not worth it, “he concluded.
