Movie Reaction Paper: And the Band Played On "This is not a political issue. This is a health issue. This is not a gay issue. This is a human issue. And I do not intend to be defeated by it. I came here today in the hope that my epitaph would not read that I died of red tape." This striking line said by a character in the movie "And the Band Played On"‚ which I later found out to be the actual words of Roger Gail Lyon in Congress1‚ depicts how a society so caught up with discrimination and stereotypes

Amistad may have been a major Hollywood movie‚ making millions‚ but the film makers did everything possible

The movie we recently watched‚ “V for Vendetta” is one that interested me much. Even if it is a fictional movie‚ it definitely inspired me to think and argue with myself about my stands on how the government should be run and if there should really be one because that is what the movie argued.

While watching the movie‚ I have observed similarities and differences of some scenes from today’s youth. Let’s start discussing about the similarities. First thing I have observed is the harsh treatment given by the colonials to our fellowmen especially to women and children. They‚ if not physically‚ were verbally abused by the Spaniards.

Most of the Filipino movies that I’ve seen are cheap imitations of Hollywood movies with forgettable characters and forgettable plots. But I won’t be forgetting "Jose Rizal" anytime soon. With impeccable production values and a truly great performance by the lead actor‚ Cesar Montano‚ "Jose Rizal" is the equal of anything that Hollywood can produce. The movie tells the life story of Jose Rizal‚ the national hero of
