I think that eyes might be repeated to reflect how
different sets of perceptions clash in the narrative. The eyes of the revolution is how
Valentin perceives the world. These eyes perceive the unjust actions of the government
and see the injustice present, causing the need to envision what should be from what
is. Interestingly enough, these eyes succumb to the morphine based vision that is about
as far off from the pace of the revolution as possible. It is this vision that allows
peace to be present in Valentin, although he has abandoned the vision of the revolution
in his last moments of life. In contrast, the "eyes" of the government are always
present, seeking to gain more information and intelligence about the revolutionaries,
only to crush them. These eyes are also present in how the prison officials use Molina
to gain information about Valentin. These same eyes are what follows Molina to his
death after his release. At the same time, Molina's eyes seek to construct a reality
where there is beauty and love, eyes that envision this reality from films that have
been seen and life that seeks beauty and the appreciation of it. These eyes are what
perceive reality as a pursuit of indulgent drama and maudlin sentimentality, yet are
also the eyes that experience a revolutionary's death, shot on the street without any
fanfare and little drama.
