This is the most beautiful film I have seen in 2003. It came out in 2002 but I saw it this year. This movie lit a human spark which burned like a summer pool of gasoline in your backyard as you watched at twilight. This movie was so damn good. Javier Bardem (who played the main character in Before Night Falls) gives another excellent performance. I am happy to see that he has stayed away from hollywood. This movie shows you the good the bad and the ugly from all sides of the story it covers.

Now my question to those who have seen or heard about this movie is if it was a Book? I would really like to know so I may read the Book. (another thing of which people laugh at the BudHAHA for is I seem to do everyting Backwards) Thanks!

Amazon lists a book by Nicholas Shakespeare with that title, BudHaHa.

I think this link will take you to it:
