Viewed on 24 January, 2008.||"The idea for the film school occurred to García 17 years ago. As he saw it, what the continent desperately needed was a "factory of creative energy" where talented people from all over the world would feed off each other. Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez has a house in Havana, and when García turned up to suggest the idea, Castro happened to be there. That same evening, the plan was agreed. I wondered how a novelist and an ex-guerrilla leader came to get so excited about building a film school. "I think they are both frustrated film-makers," grins García."
In this review of Hayle Harbour's play A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings Martin states that, "The show is inspired by Gabriel García Márquez's magical realist story about an old man with huge, dirty buzzard wings who crash-lands in a small village."

Notes:
"This corruption of the famous opening sentence of García Márquez's classic One Hundred Years of Solitude risks cheapening one of the most elegant and hypnotic passages of modern literature. Its only defense is its truth. If there is one lesson to be gleaned from García Márquez's engrossing memoir, Living to Tell the Tale, it is that the author who single-handedly defined the genre of "magic realism" drew some of his most memorable and fantastic tales from the rich history of his family and native Colombia."
