INTERNAL CRITICISM
The only thing that's different from the movie El Presidente and the manuscript
was that, the movie focuses on the life of Emilio Aguinaldo and his contribution to the
Katipunan and the revolution which of course points out that he will always be at
good side of the picture, because it was his story. On the other hand, the manuscript
doesn't only stressed about aguinaldo's and the katipunan but the katipunan, all the
people and other people including the revolution and the problems they face such of
that they fortunately didn't manage to seek for the stronger answer because of pride
and prejudice for each other they have forgotten that instead it was the Spaniards
they ought to fight, their greatest enemy are their own selves. It also showed their
the mediation of how Filipinos bravely try to unite with each other, although there
were some cowards who does not take the risk on being part of the Katipunan rather
served the Spanish legion but the real men of Philippines with their vigorous blood,
fight for our own rights in our own land despite of the powerful domination of Spain in
our nation.
Contextual Analysis:
The most important historical events portrayed in the movie are the root of the
revolution such as how the katipunan works during the time when Emilio Aguinaldo
had joined the group, the happenings following that, the thirst of Filipinos for unity
and freedom, how they strengthen or even spilled their weaknesses and mistakes
which later reacted to conflicts such as being prideful of Bonifacio and straight-
headed of Aguinaldo. It also showed the sufferings that our nation acquire for being a
slave or in a low level from the Spaniards in our own land and how every ones of the
Filipinos in KKK has a very strong soul and a fearless lion inside them, be eager to
fight for their right and land rather than be still. In terms of politics, government,
society and religion the places and the characters of each one contributes a great
role, especially in the part wherein there was a meeting from most of the wealthy or
powered people in the place and it emphasized their works on the society.
I think why there were some events that are not being shown is because, some
happenings were too confusing or it's not that essential just to help one understand
the thought of the story of Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo because the movie only
