"The Great Beauty" After "The Great Dictator"

"The Great Beauty" is a well-known movie but some circles in Italy preferred to refrain from any comments on the movie and to allow not this movie to take a higher place than an artwork by remaining silent. 
The aim of this article is not to review the movie, but to investigate the filmmaker's claim and finally to present a proper response to it.
The heroes of the movie are those characters who are introduced as losers by the filmmaker.
But who are they?
They are rich but not famous, they have key to all part of the city but they are unknown, they are associated with religious dignitaries, they have special rules for some ceremonies like funerals and etc. 
Obviously, the movie is a critical work. Thus it's funny if we accept the filmmaker just aimed to criticize a group of unknown Italian authors.
Some of the movie's dialogues also implicitly confirm this fact. Including:

Jep Gambardella: I only wrote one novel, 40 years ago.

And

Jep Gambardella: What job you do?
The Woman: Me? I’m rich

And also the monologue:

Jep Gambardella: I didn’t just want to live the high life; I wanted to be the king of the high life.

Probably the small but powerful and influential Italian group in the fields of Italian culture and politics is the movie's subject and target of criticism.
Some may think that the filmmaker has presented a real and honest image of this group.
To realize how far this presentation is from reality, just consider the images of religion presented by the filmmaker; A caricature! Presenting an unfair image of the character who reminds Mother Teresa's face, itself, is a sufficient reason to accept that we are dealing with a radical filmmaker. Thus this filmmaker's show is more fantasy than real.

Cuba isn't the Second China

Maybe if the People's Republic of China wasn't accepted as a member of the United Nations it wouldn't be as powerful, as it today is. The approval rating for UN and also the Security Council were given to People's Republic of China, during the presidency of Nixon. This approval rating was given to China in exchange for leaving alone North Vietnam or in other word, the Viet Cong. The Vietnamese war ended with the fall of Saigon, but China gained such an approval, by which it interrupts the globalization order and directs it against democracy, human rights, and environmental law.
Of course Cuba doesn't have the capability to become a second China but it's a potential Russian base in the American Continent. The isolation that U.S compelled to Cubans made Russia the mere survival Guarantee of Cuba. All governments are definitely struggling to survive. Russia sold the privilege of survival guarantee to Cuba and North Korea, when every other countries in the world, isolated the two aforementioned countries. How much does it costs?
-A share of the Capital!
Anyways, considering the return of Kremlin's attention to Havana, the only approach that can be adopted is resumption of imposition of political and economic isolation against Cuba. But this isn't solely enough; rather, Latin America requires independent political powers in order to create an alliance in Latin America and Caribbean. Doubtlessly, guaranteed such an alliance is organized adequately, it will eliminate the Russian political influence zone in Latin America and Caribbean.
The Ancient Roman Empire's tactic is a proper model for controlling Latin America and Caribbean. Roman Empire appointed local governors for its occupied lands which where inhabited by foreign citizens, and avoided direct governance over those lands.
Controlling Latin America and Caribbean is possible through the Latin American powers which are allies with Washington. Otherwise, we should only hope that the reformations in Cuba won't lead to the power development of this Russian island. We shouldn't forget that the number of Latin American Caribbean citizens residing in the U.S is more than the number of U.S citizens residing in the Latin American countries. An allied Latin America and Caribbean can makes use of its abroad-residing-citizens as a tool for expanding its influence zone, just as the U.S federal government did to Texas back in 1848, when it was part of Mexico.
