“Noli Me Tangere”

I. INTRODUCTION A.
Title of the movie: Noli Me Tangere (“Touch Me Not”)
Director: Gerardo De Leon
Characters:
Edwardo Del Mar as Crisostomo Ibarra
Edita Vidal as Maria Clara
Leopordo Salcedo as Elias
Cristina Sampang as Sisa
Oscar Keesee as Padre Damaso

A.
Noli Me Tangere is base on a novel which Dr. Jose Rizal wrote against the Spaniards. This novel is about the injustice of the Spaniards to Filipinos also known as “Indio”. The film also narrates the romance between the two main characters, Crisostomo Ibarra Y Magsalin and Maria Clara Delos Santos. Let us witness the love story between the main characters and what happened to Crisostomo Ibarra in his journey to get revenge.

C. The film that I just watched was more of a silent movie, at first, I find it hard to understand so what I did is, I read the summary of the story first then I watched the movie after. Crisostomo was a charming and a lovable man back when he was still unaware of the betrayals of his trusted friends. When his father was send to jail his views and outlooks in life changed. Instead of showing respect to the government He planned to take revenge to those who betrayed him and his father. For me, Crisostomo was never a hero; he was also a victim of the harsh society.

II. Summary
The film revolves around Crisostomo Ibarra, who, after seven years in Europe studying, returns to the Philippines. His father, Don Rafael Ibarra, was sent to prison in connection with the death of a tax collector. His father died in prison because of Padre Damaso.
Meanwhile, In San Diego, a party prepared by Captain Tiago is held to welcome his arrival, which is attended by Padre Damaso, Padre Sibyla, Doña Victorina, and other important guests. He doesn’t mind insults thrown

    When the book starts, Ibarra is returning to the Philippines after a 7 year absence, and he is reunited with his lover, María Clara. He also learns the details of his father’s death, which was caused by one of his father’s political opponents in his home town of Binondo, Manila. Father Dámaso is one of the religious/political figures in Binondo who dislikes Ibarra’s dad. By accusing Ibarra’s dad of being a heretic, and by using the death of a local student to make him look bad, Father Dámaso turned the community against Ibarra’s dad, and had him thrown in jail where he got sick and died. Ibarra’s father was disgraced further when his body was thrown into the lake while workers were transporting him between burial sites. After learning about the atrocities committed against his father, Ibarra does not seek revenge, but instead decides to build a school, which was something his father had always planned to do. By building the school, Juan Crisostomo Ibarra shows that he is genuinely concerned about the education and welfare of the Filipino people, because he puts the political squabbling aside in order to help the community. Ibarra is nearly assassinated at the school’s opening celebrations, but he is saved by a man named Eliás. After the assassination attempt, Ibarra is thrown into jail for a crime that he did not commit. Eliás again assists Ibarra by helping him escape from prison. As they are absconding in a boat, Ibarra hides under some leaves. Eliás jumps into the water in an attempt to fool the guards, but his plan fails and he is shot by the guards and left for dead. Since the guards think that they shot Ibarra, they cease their pursuit of the boat he is hiding on, and he escapes unharmed.…
