Andy Garcia and Esai Morales were amazing in this movie.

This is one of my all-time favorites.

It also introduced me to Lorca's writing, so i am forever grateful.

Lorca was a genius and he is loved and missed. What a beautiful poet. I went out and bought 2 of his books and I've carried them with me for years. They are well-loved and read often. Lorca is like a kindred spirit. If Garcia hadn't portrayed his character so well, I may have never known Lorca was even a poet that ever existed! and now i can't imagine not knowing his writing. What caught my ear was Garcia reciting one of Lorca's poems. I was in the other room and the TV was on and i heard this beautiful poetry i'd never heard before. I came into the TV room and i was just glued to the set.

This is the first time I saw Esai Morales and then when I saw him in NYPD Blue I said, hey! i know him! :-) He's a wonderful actor.

Garcia really did Lorca proud with his performance. I had always loved Andy before but this time i really fell in love with him. I can't even imagine anyone else playing this role. I hope he knows how great he was in this movie.

I am still in awe every time i see this movie.
