Many others have reviewed this movie so I will cut to the chase. The whole basis of this story, besides the side stories and violence, etc., is to show the hypocrisy of government. The autocratical government depicted at the beginning of the movie---with a big parade as the "leader" sits on a throne waving to his people while he is clearly oppressing them---is distasteful to the revolutionaries, and they fight to overthrow him. But at the end, the revolutionary leader is shown doing the exact same thing the autocratic leader did, sitting on a throne with a king-like existence as the parade for him goes on beneath him, implying he is oppressing them, exactly like his predecessor. People say it happened in Columbia, but it reminded me of Cuba, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Communism. Perhaps the Cuban people felt oppressed by the US (and the Mafia) using them for profit, but they were no better---and in fact, worse off---in Communism.
