BONIFACIO ANG UNANG PANGULO


Reaction Paper

My reaction about the movie that portrays life of the Katipunan during the Philippine
Revolution is that it was really beautiful. I appreciate the cinematography of the film and
every scene was captured neatly. The characters were properly portrayed especially
Robin Padilla who give justice to Andres Bonifacio’s strong personality. Andres Bonifacio,
known as Supremo, is the leader of the Katipuneros who revolt against the Spaniards
during 1800s. He is one of the well-known hero in the Philippines because of his
characteristics that can’t be compared to others.

This movie showed the brutality of Spaniards during their reign in the Philippines.
Like, arresting people that they thought violated their imposed rules and regulations,
killing people they found crossing their lines, charging people a tax through cedulas, and
forcing people to work for them without pay. This form of cruelty that they are showing
gives the rise of sense of nationalism of every Filipino living at that time. Where man and
women wants to attain freedom.

It is really true that faith is really being tested during the worst moment that people
are encountering in their lives. Like when Andres Bonifacio’s life was tested when his
home was burned in the fire and when his child died. That despite all of the good deeds
that he is doing for the country, the only thing that he received in return is these. He
bravely fought the Spaniards despite the harm that is waiting to him, just for our country
and for the betterment of the people and yet these people only betrayed him saying that
he is a traitor and killed him. It symbolizes that the true enemy here is not the colonizer
but the Filipinos who only want greed, power and wealth for the sake of their own interest.

This movie is an open call for those people whose spirits in their nationalism is still
sleeping. It’s time to open there soul about the love for our country because our country
symbolizes our right, dignity and freedom.
