Reaction Paper on Saint Dominic Deguzman Film
The Life of Saint Dominic De guzman was so inspirational that his life was made a film by the Dominican community of the Philippines. Through the aid of divine providence, this team was able to shoot a magnificent film in a country whose culture far differs from theirs. His life, filled with values of, self-sacrifice, mercy, humility, and love for god, was a stepping stone for the growth of Catholic population in Rome. Through an apostolic crusade to change the world, he and a couple of monks ventured in different parts of Europe, with only a staff and a bible, and preached of the real truth. With the approval of the pope, this mission became official and lasted for a couple of years, making them travel on foot. He had people help him along the way and that made him very thankful, of everything. On the later part of the movie, he died of being tired, many mourned but he said that they should not. He’s me of more help where he is going.

Divine providence was that one thing I remember most about this movie. To be able to leave everything to Him for I know that He already has my life planned out for me. Having self-sacrifice in order to pave way for the comfort of others will bring me not only god’s mercy but self contentment as well. I was able to realize that most things in this world is temporary and that the best thing I could do is to leave it to someone who is capable of controlling this things to guide me throughout life. Saint Dominic was such inspiration, really. And I look forward to seeing more of him and his story in the

    But less than two days into the journey, he received a vision from God that came to him in his dreams telling him that, “You have mistaken the meaning of your vision. Return to your own town.” [Chesterton, G. K. "Francis the Fighter." St. Francis of Assisi,. New York: George H. Doran, 1924. 39.] Unwilling, he returned back to Assisi, humiliated and ashamed that he had gone away in the first place. In Assisi, he had not returned to his old ways but began to mope around the pastures and streets, believing he had no purpose.…

    One very notable performance for me was how quickly the more tame Reverend was able to switch characters and become his hot-tempered son Luke, who wasn’t afraid to do whatever it took to achieve justice. The difference between these two characters was like hot and cold and the actor who played both was able to change between characters fairly quickly so that it was almost difficult to tell that it was the same person playing a different character. I also found the scenes after Portia had been shot to be very moving and I really felt like the actors gave it their all. They were able to embrace the agony of not knowing if your child is going to make it and the difficulty of dealing with people trying to pity you.…

    St. Vincent was born into a poor family in Gascony, France. He was ordained as a priest in 1600. Unfortunately, in 1605, he set out on a voyage from Marseilles to Narbonne and on his journey he was captured by African pirates. Vincent was taken to Tunis where he would become a slave. He was held captive for close to two years when God’s actual grace allowed him to make his escape from captivity. After he escaped, he made his way through Rome and eventually returned to France where he began preaching and laying the foundations of a congregation. St. Vincent received the grace of helping the poor. His predominant virtue was charity. In fact, he is now known as the Apostle of Charity. Throughout St. Vincent’s life, his soul…

    The concept and theme of the movie is good. The movie had a moral lesson that was relevant to religious beliefs, the real plot was amazing. It was an apocalyptic-tale in which Eli was a lone man and he has a task of protecting a hidden sacred book, because that book is their only hope to bring back peace of the world for its future.…

    Ocean's Eleven

    It had a great cast full of recognizable actors, which made it easier for me to get drawn into what was happening. My favorite part by far was the way they pulled off the heist, and the way it was filmed. When Danny is telling his team about the plan, the audience learns only the basics of where they need to go and what they need to do. None of the intricate details of the plan are given away on screen. It isn’t until the heist is taking place that each step of the plan is slowly revealed as it happens. The more progress that is made, the more complicated the endeavor seems, and the more the audience is left wondering what could possibly happen next. I personally kept expecting them to fail at some point, and was certain something had to go wrong, but expectations just kept being incorrect. The most mind-blowing moment for me was the revelation that the video feed Terry Benedict was seeing of his vault being robbed was a previously filmed tape, and that the SWAT team he’d called in to stop the robbers were actually the robbers themselves, who proceeded to carry the money straight out of the casino without being stopped. Earlier in the movie, Ocean says that they’ll need to create a replica of the vault, but the audience is led to believe that this is just for the purpose of practicing the theft. It isn’t until this moment that the audience realizes they’ve been fooled, and that a vital part of the plan is only just now being…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…

    It is often found that we can reflect upon various pivotal events or experiences that helped shape who we are and that lead to the life we currently live. Like all people, Saint Francis of Assisi experienced many significant turning points in his life that helped shape him into the godly man the world knows him as today. Francis went from being a golden boy to becoming a man that lived in severe poverty with little to nothing for himself. An event in the early years of his life that signified a change was when Francis embraces the leper. The later years of his life were changed when he sees a vision of God on La Verna and receives the five holy wounds that Jesus had upon the cross. Both events signify a turning point for Francis and each event…
