Final Flight
Honestly I am not a big fan of watching Pilipino movies but La Visa Loca was an interesting movie. I think the last Pilipino movie I watched was Batang X and that was ages ago. The movie was very entertaining, it was funny unlike any other movies the humor in the story was not force it was really funny. I like the story and the cinematography of this film; it was good all in all.
I think the main message of the film is what people will do to achieve there dreams and how people realize what are the important things in a there lives. The film depicts what our realty is. I think the story reflects what is happening in our country, people wants to go to America because they think that they will have a better chance of living when they are there, but in reality not everybody ends up that lucky. Most people are so used with this idea that they end up having a more miserable life.
A major symbol that I saw is the part where Jess allowed himself be crucified in exchange for his boss to recommend him to be a nursing aid in America. Its like when Jesus was crucified for our salvation. I guess that in Jess’s case he will do almost everything to achieve his dream, even to let his own father to stay in a home for the aged. But unlike Jesus story in the end I feel like he regretted everything he did to achieve his dream. Because he didn’t continue in going abroad.
I realized in this movie that you will only feel the importance of one thing when you are in the break of loosing them.
For our Philippine literature class overall it was fun. Almost all of the stories we read were interesting. They where good because I not the type that loves reading stories the stories we tackled entertained me masaya masaya!!. The only stories that I didn’t like is May Day Eve and The Mats those stories where kinda boring. The stories that rocked where Getting Better and The Tale of the Spinster and Peter Pan. The other stories where ok, some were cheesy but still good.
The things I didn’t like about the class is the part that we have to make blogs. It was a good idea but in some cases it was really troublesome in the part of us students. It was not that effective because we do it after the stories were discussed, so the tendency is we could just listen to the reporter and we can make our blogs without reading the story. I think it would be better if the students would pass a paper about the story before it will be discussed in class like in our Litform class. Well its just my suggestion so that the students will be forced to read the stories before hand, so when the stories are discussed in class it will be more interactive and more interesting. Another thing is that to be able to create posts in our blog we have to have internet access, its stressful sometimes because some students have easy access to the internet so its kinda stressful. Beside from that it was all good.
So finally in our Philippine literature class it was really fun I really enjoy this class. And the lesson I learned in this class madame! Some good some bad. If Im going to rate the class from a scale of 1 to 10 ill rate it an 8. I had a blast sana pass ako hehe!!! Last thing masaya pala mag blog hehe
