    “Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon?”


    A Reflection Paper

    Upon watching the movie we could already see that the film depicted Filipino
    culture in the nineteenth century. It was the time of the where Spaniards still colonized
    our country and where Filipinos have been belittled by these people. Moreover, this
    movie demonstrated how naive a person can be, especially when they lack in
    education. Furthermore, it shows the differences of social classes during that time and
    how these classes can affect the lives of the people. Kulas (the main character –from a
    poor boy to an aristocrat) eventually decides to abandon his wealth and love to join the
    other Filipinos in the revolution. At the end of the film, he often becomes wiser and less
    content. For us, the film depicts how life experience sharpens one's mind, alters one's
    perspective on life, and shifts one's attitude.
    As the story goes along we could say that the depiction of the Philippines in the
    nineteenth century in the film is quite accurate. Despite the fact that we did not live
    during the time span depicted in the film, we can guarantee that the events, attitudes of
    the characters, objects, and other elements in the film are consistent with what I have
    read in books and other sources. The church, Spaniards, Filipinos, kalesa, clothes,
    language, and other details are all quite convincing.
    Hence, we believe the film's main goal is to address the question, "Who is the
    real Filipino?” or "Are you a Filipino?" The main character was Kulas (Christopher De
    Leon). He was a naive Filipino who insisted on asking others if they were Filipino. Kulas
    seems to be curious about what it means to be Filipino. In the end, with all the things
    Kulas had experienced and the people he met, he gradually came to know his identity
    as a Filipino.
