Life is a blessing from God. It is the most precious gift a being can receive. This has been given to us in order to protect, love, and serve every single being that is created in this world and none of us has the right to take it away from others. But then many people don’t believe and follow this rule, right? A good example of this is the movie that we have watched. It is entitled Bonifacio, ang unang pangulo. This movie is based on the history of our country in the perspective of Andres Bonifacio’s story. It was modernized by the director in order for it to be in trend with the interests of the audience. The story in the movie showed us the greatness of a true hero. Andres Bonifacio, as shown in the movie which is acted by Robin Padilla …show more content…
This movie shows and justifies how Andres became the first president, how he had started the revolution himself, and how he continued to fight even if the life of his family is at a great risk. Andres Bonifacio, the first president of the Philippines, the father of the Philippine Revolution and is considered as one of the heroes in Philippine history has suffered so much yet he was betrayed and called a traitor. But then he still chose to show his strength so that the Katipuneros will not be afraid to express themselves too and fight for our country. He was able to gather some Filipinos that are sick and tired of the cruelty and maltreatment of the Spaniards. And even though they lack of material weapons to use in battle, they still fought until the end with great courage and love of country for the sake of our freedom. Andres was eager …show more content…
One of them was Daniel Padilla as one of the students in our modern time. I think it is a good idea that he was on the movie because many youths idolize and adore him. It is a great help that the youths are involved and that they will surely learn from it. All in all the characters showed their skills in an efficient way that they didn’t surpassed the real characters of the story. I liked the movie because I wasn’t disappointed at all. I’ve learned a lot in the movie and I realized how hard it is for them to fight and sacrifice themselves just to have the freedom we have today. I was informed that not all of what’s written in our history was the truth, some are just merely based on what they have heard and saw. There are still many things that are still left untold. People were judged and their efforts was all taken for granted by those who are not contented in what they have and are jealous of one’s abilities. But then everything we have now is because of what happened and we cannot turn back time to undo and avoid everything that is not supposed to
Beginning the mid 1920s, Hollywood’s ostensibly all-powerful film studios controlled the American film industry, creating a period of film history now recognized as “Classical Hollywood”. Distinguished by a practical, workmanlike, “invisible” method of filmmaking- whose purpose was to demand as little attention to the camera as possible, Classical Hollywood cinema supported undeviating storylines (with the occasional flashback being an exception), an observance of a the three act structure, frontality, and visibly identified goals for the “hero” to work toward and well-defined conflict/story resolution, most commonly illustrated with the employment of the “happy ending”. Studios understood precisely what an audience desired, and accommodated their wants and needs, resulting in films that were generally all the same, starring similar (sometimes the same) actors, crafted in a similar manner. It became the principal style throughout the western world against which all other styles were judged. While there have been some deviations and experiments with the format in the past 50 plus ye...
...he movie is deep into getting the point across in the discrimination between the black soldiers and the white commanders, it addresses the audience with the issue that everyone was going through. At the end of the day, the Massachusetts 54th wanted to win the war white or black, friends or not. The audience gets a look into a reenactment of the Civil war and the look at how difficult it was to train the black soldiers. They also get to see their dedication and how these African American men wanted in any way to serve their country.
This movie is based on changing the lives of Mexican Americans by making a stand and challenging the authority. Even when the cops were against them the whole time and even with the brutal beatings they received within one of the walk out, they held on. They stuck to their guns and they proved their point. The main character was threatened by the school administrators, she was told if she went through with the walkout she would be expelled. While they wanted everyone who was going to graduate to simply look the other way, the students risked it all and gave it their all to make their voices
Life is a precious gift given to us the moment we are born and Thomas Jefferson knew this. We can define life as having respect for ourselves and others, accepting our individuality, not judging certain groups or individuals, and being able to exercise our morals and beliefs. Living in America, we are allowed to live these rights of “life”. The United States has become a very diverse nation.
Classic narrative cinema is what Bordwell, Staiger and Thompson (The classic Hollywood Cinema, Columbia University press 1985) 1, calls “an excessively obvious cinema”1 in which cinematic style serves to explain and not to obscure the narrative. In this way it is made up of motivated events that lead the spectator to its inevitable conclusion. It causes the spectator to have an emotional investment in this conclusion coming to pass which in turn makes the predictable the most desirable outcome. The films are structured to create an atmosphere of verisimilitude, which is to give a perception of reality. On closer inspection it they are often far from realistic in a social sense but possibly portray a realism desired by the patriarchal and family value orientated society of the time. I feel that it is often the black and white representation of good and evil that creates such an atmosphere of predic...
What is life? No one seems able to agree, and there is no side in between. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, as well as one of the most seemingly unsolvable controversies. Pro-life advocates claim that abortion equates to full-on murder, while pro-choice advocates claim that women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. With the right to an abortion under attack more and more, even clinics finding themselves under actual gunfire, abortion becomes a bigger debate topic than ever. A woman is a person more than the fetus inside of her, and she deserves to make whatever choice she wishes about her own body. Women should have safe, easy access to abortion in all cases.
.... The action flows so seamlessly between the two elements that they often seem like aligned narratives rather than a mise-en-abîme. This flawlessness is used as a great outcome, further emphasizing that human cruelty is nothing new. It's easy to forget that Atuey, Columbus, Las Casas, Montesinos, etc. are actors playing roles-within-roles because they seem just as "real" as Costa, Sebastian and Daniel. The film's entire cast is incredible, but the star was Juan Carlos Aduviri, he gave both Atuey and Daniel distinct identities with a few common traits. Daniel and Atuey are both forthright rebels, but they have dissimilarities and (including living centuries apart). As an activist for morality and equality who believes in speaking truth to power, I found Even the Rain especially impactful. This film is certain to inspire many of us to keep fighting for what is right.
...ctual roles, or adding in exciting events that revise the storyline. These changes are beneficial to producers because they engage a large audience and generate massive profits. In contrast, they do not always have a positive effect on viewers. Although they are entertaining which is an important aspect of theatre culture, they also are often misguiding. Many spectators take movies at face value, without considering that they may not exactly qualify as primary source material. Even when an historical event is fabricated to teach or enhance a moral message, it still doesn’t compensate for bending the truth. Moviegoer’s may have a positive experience and gain some skewed historical perspective, perhaps better than what they knew before the movie, but they loose out on the truth and therefore, a genuine understanding of the historical event, and its significance.
3. Throughout the movie, it was apparent that Dr. Francis and Dr. Gallo, displayed the same objective of wanting to discover the cause of AIDS; however, in terms of critical thinking, it’s obvious that they utilize different styles of critical thinking. To further explain, in one segment of the movie, Francis compares and correlates already known viruses that cause cancer, damage t-cells, and exhibit the same symptoms with what he thinks might be the cause of AIDS. However, Francis is comparing his fields of expertise in which he already knows and thinks might be true, not with what has been scientifically proven; therefore, he is using wishful thinking, a speed bump of critical thinking. There are also times in the movie, where Francis thinks
In conclusion, after view this film, it is clear that one can see how black youth are being viewed as killers and savages. This is not true. There have been many admirable scholars and scientists who come from the African American culture. This movie, though it depicts what goes on in South America, takes the violence committed by black youth too far. One cannot view a film and take it that this is what a race is like. The filmmakers depicted black youth in a harsher light.
...isions must be made, and that the impact of our decisions can be catastrophic. This is shown when, after the Cardinal decides to side with the Portuguese, after struggling to come to a decision, the mission is wiped out, leaving a small band of survivors to continue the traditions of their people. Another portrayal of this lesson is Mendoza giving up his vows in order to defend the mission and the natives. The story is shown from the perspective of Mendoza, whose past as a slave trader and his role as a priest paint the picture in a way that understands both sides. Overall, the movie shows us that man can make mistakes, and get past them, but there are always consequences. While hard to fully enjoy, the film does offer an interesting, albeit flawed at times, historical perspective. Additionally, the lesson taught by the story is one that remains true even in 2014.

The storytelling technique made use by Cameron in the film Titanic is special because history and fiction is inculcated within the plot. For example, Cameron made use of the history of RMS Titanic as the main plot of the film. But he was aware of the fact that mere history of a cruise ship will not satisfy the global viewers. So, he decided to inculcate fiction and romance to the main plot. Parisi (1998), states that “Cameron’s gift was to create a unique moviegoing experience, one audiences couldn’t get from any other film” (202). One can easily identify that inculcation of fiction and romance is helpful...
