ANG LARAWAN
Reaction Paper

It’s a wonderful work of making and translating from its original

meaning, the stage play “A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino” written by
our National Artist Nick Joaquin. The lyrics were so meaningful and the
cast delivered the song so sincerely. And it shows about the remaining
wealth of a sisters and their serious father, the Portrait and there home.
Even though they were in the middle of poverty and war threatened,
they did not sell the portrait of their father and their home, but they did
care of it for them. Like our art as a wealth of Filipinos, we should not
trade it for anything. Because our art is a big part of our culture.

It has a very important message about the depth of our every

human nature-that each one of us has his own devil in our lifetimes to
fight and be blessed if we can overcome it. It also discusses the love of
the family and the art.

The movie shows a very significant culture of the Filipinos like in

music, dance, they talk about literature, they are really deep into arts
and culture.

The movie’s impact to me is the art as a social conscience is often

spattered with various criticisms and insults; It is still a symbol of the rich
and poor.

It’s easier to understand what it wants to convey to viewers. It’s very

effective and well-crafted.
