“The Rain Maker”

        The two and a half hour movie was worth watching, having the story of a fresh graduate of law and at the same time a newly passed lawyer in the bar exam. As the story goes on obviously it encompasses the Art.1305 which indicates the existence of contract where in agreements and obligations to be fulfilled were shown. Art.1306, Rudy the main character has establish an agreement with the Black’s about the case of their son Donny which were clearly not contrary to law or other illegal means. Art.1307 on classification of contracts existed because the contract with the Great Benefit of the insurance benefactors was a nominate contract for it has a specific designation in law. Art.1308 says that contracts must bind both contracting parties, in Rudy’s case with the Black’s and Kelly he made a contract with them which they both agreed upon and fulfilled without one party being left behind. As to the contract of the Black’s with the Great Benefit insurance they both accepted it’s validity and complied to all the stipulations therein but for the insurance company it was only when the contracts begins because as time goes by the company did not comply with their dealings, equality was questionable at this point. Art.1311 specified that contract affects the party, their assigns and heirs as to the contract with the insurance company it was between the parents of Donny but it will take effect on him for he was the benefactor of the said insurance. Art.1315 the contract with the Black’s and Rudy was perfected because of the consent given by the family where he acted in good faith and keeping it tied up with law. Art.1327 applies since Donny is an unemancipated minor his mother was the one taking contracts and giving consent. Although we know that Rudy’s intention of helping the Black’s was good Art.1330, Art.1335 and Art.1337 were seen not in his act but with the act of Mrs Black’s intimidation and undue influence  to her husband to sign the paper and give his consent but nevertheless it was worth it at the end. Art.1332 was seen in the part when Mrs Black will sign the paper Rudy gave, but she didn’t understand and ask why the simple meaning of the paper appears in three pages but then Rudy immediately explained thoroughly the terms therein. Art.1338 the contract between the Great Benefit and the Black’s was affected by this article because they use enticing and deceiving words to convince the Black’s to invest in them where they know that a planned anomaly is binding the contract therefore fraud is existing particularly the causal one. These anomalies go with the Art.1339 because the company failed to really expose every detail of their service they only enumerated their good points. Art 1370, talks about literal meanings that over rule when the contract leaves no doubt. Going back to our past semester’s lesson using stolen evidences without authority or the fruit of the poisonous tree as the law termed it would be inadmissible but in this movie it was shown with a proof that it could be admissible. I noticed that it was contrasting to what we have studied about.
