REACTION PAPER “AMIGO” While I’am watching the movie “AMIGO” .. the first thought that comes on my mind is… What if one day I woke up and found myself living with them , fighting for freedom with them? Will I survive? Now I’m thinking about it, Im sure of myself I woudn’t last long even a day.. They’re very brave fighting against the colonizers for their/our rights and for their/our freedom compared to me scared of everything. When I finally know the personality of Rafael Dacanay I’m so amazed by him. How he put his own life in danger just to protect his people. He has been tortured by pouring gallons of water in his mouth forcing him to show the hideout of the rebeled… the group that fight against the colonizers.. He said nothing about where the rebeled is hiding but when American threatened him that they will kill his wife.. he had no choice. When they’re on the woods, Rafael tried to trick the Americans by showing a fake hideout and said that maybe they weren’t there at that time. The Americans get angry and tied him.. When they are on they’re way back to the barrio .. they were ambushed by the rebeled that killed some of the Americans.. At first I thought that the rebeled will save Rafael Dacanay for his execution but it’s not.. It also makes me angry to the American who execute Rafael.., why they have to shoot Rafael who is already hanged.. I’m very inspired by Rafael Dacanay not just because of how he took good care the safety of his people but also how he is being loyal to his ally especially to his country/ our country.. the Philippines.. He is a Hero. For the Filipino people/civilians .. I feel so sory for them .. for being killed bec. Of nothing.. It also feels liked my heart has been ripped out when I saw the little girl died.. And the rebeled who did a lot of sacrifices.. Sacrifices that free us from colonialism.. I admire

    This film is an awesome piece of art. It is incredible the way it is possible to transmit a huge and powerful message in just an hour and forty minutes. From this, people may learn to appreciate what they have, talking about the ones who enjoy of legal status, because sometimes they do not realize others would love to have the chances they have only because of a “legal citizenship status.” The best fact about this film is the way the author portrayed reality in life. Most of the time people is used to witness a happy ending, but this was not the case. Veliz knew exactly how to portray a reality that many people do not like to realize. As well, several key quotes or phrases he used helped to enhance the meaning of this story as when they said “Nomas por los coyotes en la colina, no vamos a dejar de criar gallinas.” This gave the message of realizing that, after all, troubles are part of life, so people must learn to deal with it and do not give up. Moreover, the…

    In comparing the movie “The Motorcycle Diaries”, and the Che Guevara in popular culture, this man had a face that every person trusted and loved. From his lost innocence of youth in his early twenties; to his execution in his late thirties it seemed he was the face and the voice of the people. What started as a motorcycle journey of excitement and adventures, ended with and eye opening experience that lead him down the revolutionary path in the Cuban Revolution.…

    I have chosen to react to the 2004, Sergio Arau film, “A Day Without A Mexican”. This movie examines what might happen if one day a third of the population of the state of California just wasn’t there anymore. As the film progresses we learn that the section of the population that has disappeared is connected by the one fact that they all seem to be of Hispanic heritage. California is isolated from the rest of the country, represented by a strange pink fog, and is on its own to resolve the social, economic, and cultural issues that arise from this event. This film is intended to be a comedy/drama and satirically presents serious issues such as border control, illegal labor, occupational stereotypes and the inability of people, mostly white, to appreciate the Mexicans/Hispanics that they employ without having a clue about their respective cultures.…

    Symbolic of failure and a changing state of mind, Marquez inflicts a fictional, nameless disease upon the General. His overall attitude of frustration and exhaustion in the novel are owed, in large part, to his old age and growing sickness. The fluctuating severity of the General's disease parallels the varying degrees of confidence and hope that he has in himself, his future, and his dream of unity. Bolivar's real life memories are confused with hallucinations and sweetened with the creative touches of Garcia Marquez. Similar to other South American heroes, Simon Bolivar is dually loved and hated by all. His almost mythical victories, tragic flaws, and seemingly unattainable goal of total unity culminate to form the mysterious dynamic of his character as a conqueror, failure, fighter, and lover.…

    At first glance, Garcia Marquez's novella appears to be just another murder mystery. This, however, is not the case (pun intended). The story opens with a declaration that the main character, Santiago Nasar, will ultimately meet his end. Garcia Marquez employs a very matter-of-fact tone throughout the novel. By stating the facts in such a way, he is able to create a narrator whose attitude mimics that of a journalist. The narrator remains anonymous throughout the entire novella, leaving it up to the reader to form opinions regarding the true motivations of the characters within it. Garcia Marquez paints a meaningful image of 20th century Colombia by employing several literary techniques that enhance the meaning of the text.…

    By laying utmost importance upon honor as a key belief of the Colombians, Marquez effectively uses the cultural beliefs surrounding honor to shed light on the shocking 1real-life incident which took place with one of his very close friends during that time period in the same setting i.e. Colombia. Marquez found this belief so strong in the Colombian society, that he has portrayed it in almost all the chapters through the use of a shadowy narrator, making honor the central theme of the novella. The significance of this belief can be seen not only from a cultural viewpoint, but also from political, philosophical, religious and psychological perspectives. The importance and emphasis upon honor and its surrounding pillars is to such an extent that it becomes the main driving force of the plot and to the eventual murder of Santiago Nasar, the central character, who in the real world represents Marquez’s friend with whom the incident of honor killing took…

    Through watching the movie Amistad, I realized that it was really tough for the Africans in the past. They were being treated like animals, lived under poor conditions, not being fed well and get thrown into the sea if they’re ill. Furthermore, they were being sold as a piece of item. Africans had to go through a lot, in order to have the freedom they’re having today. The case Amistad is a good example about how Africans fight for freedom, and how this case changed the Abolitionist Movement.…
