MOVIE REFLECTION ON JOSE RIZAL FILM (1998)
Jose Rizal was portrayed by Cesar Montano who executed the acts and lines
very well with a charm that touches my heart. He even clearly delivers his lines
especially Spanish language fluently. In the beginning of the film, it was shown there a
scenario about Spanish Friars and the brutality of the Spaniards against the Filipinos.
Even the Execution of Father Burgos one of the three priest who was executed by the
Spaniards. The film tackles about the truth about the government during colonization of
Spaniards in the Philippines. All grievances and frustration as the speaker stated in the
movie. Also, a scenario of Paciano beaten up by the Spaniards, a brother who will
always do anything just to protect his family. He was the one who motivated Rizal to do
better in school for the sake of his future. In 1986 when Rizal was arrested in Fort
Santiago, he was accused in three cases which are rebellion, sedition and illegal
association. He began to foretold his stories and the things he knew about Spaniards to
a prisoner servant and Taviel. As Jose Rizal begin his story with his family you will see
the Filipino values such as “po at opo” and “mano”. Her mother Theodora taught him
about praying and reading. In 1872 he was sent to study in Ateneo Municipal wherein
he studies about the language of Spaniards. Later on, was sent to abroad to expand
more his knowledge in order to succeed in the future. When her mother had an eye
problem called “catarata” he was so motivated to study well abroad in order to help her
mother. Upon as his brother told him about the Spaniards and his family experiences
during Spanish regime, he decided to fight those people through his writings. One of
them are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Those two books that open the eyes of
the Filipinos the truth about the Spaniards. Crisostomo Ibarra and Simoun was
portrayed by Joel Torre in the film wherein they give some excerpts from the Noli Me
Tangere and El Filibusterismo scenes. Taviel found out that Rizal was innocent. But the
friars who were the main target of his books, wanted to end Rizal’s life.
Rizal influenced and inspired the natives to revolt by revealing his thoughts, his
aspirations, and his suggestions through Ibarra. Andres Bonifacio was a fan of Rizal
they both want to escape from the Spaniards but in two different ways. Jose Rizal might
not be in the actual bloody battlefield for freedom from Spanish rule, but his writings
were sources of inspiration for revolutionaries, especially lead by Andres Bonifacio.
They have this line called long live Philippines or “Mabuhay Pilipinas”. Jose Rizal was
not up for independence but only for reformation that would lead to the equality of the
natives and the Spaniards in terms of opportunities and uphold better and liberal
education for Indios. However, as personal crisis of Rizal hype up, especially when his
mother was unjustly imprisoned, Rizal’s emotional state of made him furious with the
Philippine situation. He chose to make Simoun more radical in his way in toppling the
oppressive forces. From Crisostomo, who only wants reformation, Rizal transformed
him into Simoun who’s dangerously seeking for independence from the Spaniards.
Rizal was not only featured as a writer, doctor, brother, friend or son but also he
is a lover, wherein the film shows his great love about Leonor his cousin and the last
woman in his life Josephine Bracken. There are a lot of learnings in this film one is that
the young “pepe” can be an inspiration to this generation that values family and
education. His love for the country will forever be treasure not just in the history of the
Philippines but in hearts of every Filipino. The life of Rizal is an inspiration for everyone,
the things that happens from the past is a lesson for us to be smart enough so that
other will not abuse us again. The movie was heart-warming, and I was inspired by the
details or facts that I saw in the film. I will surely recommend it to others because there
are no mundane moments to feel upon watching it. Also, it very important for us to know
what really is patriotism and nationalism is. Because Jose Rizal showed that until his
death in Bagumbayan.
Jose Rizal is the past and present of the freed and independent Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao. Rizal is the same you because you too can be the same to become
hero since we have the same blood that flows in us. We have one purpose like Jose
Rizal who wanted to live freedom and peace. The courage and dignity, we too wanted
these and we need to go beyond what the yesterday have done. The movie said we
could have mistaken because no one in this world is perfect but what matter most is
how we leave the earth that we will be best remembered when we have gone.
