REACTION PAPER..

As what I have considered in the movie viewing final meeting, the Filipino’s
existence was full of misfortunes. The Filipinos were unfairly handled and even
discriminated by using the Spaniards. Filipino female have been abused by the
Spanish friars and different Spaniards. Others had been judged besides even having
due system and even tortured to demise for crimes they did no longer even commit,
such that of the infant in the film, who was once Crispin in Rizal’s novel.

Although the Spanish authorities conducts a court listening to to these who have
been accused of a crime (only in some cases), they solely provide Spanish legal
professionals to protect those accused and even manipulated the regulation in
choose of themselves, leaving the Filipinos with no different choice however to
accept and go through from the crimes that they didn’t even committed.

These events have been proven and expressed by using Rizal in his two novels
entitled Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which the Filipinos have examine
in spite of the banning of these said books to be examine by way of the public. In
spite of many obstacles in the publication of these books, it was once nonetheless
printed to make the Filipinos aware of what was once surely happening. Rizal
nearly put these books into fire because of his economic inability due to the
financial hassle in Calamba, when the friars multiplied the tax that they’ve been
collecting from the Calamba humans which the people didn’t agreed to pay, for
that reason they was forced by using the friars to leave from their homes and
kicking them out of the lands that they used to plant their plants with. Rizal’s
motive in writing these books used to be to exhibit his fellow Filipinos of what was
once surely going on in the u . s . a . and to open their eyes to the unjust therapy
and discrimination of the Spaniards to them. And so, as soon as they examine
Rizal’s novels, they have formed an organisation which carried out the revolutions
in opposition to the Spanish rule. They fought the Spanish tyranny with their
weapons that shed blood on the ground, which Rizal didn’t prefer to happen. Rizal
desired to battle the Spaniards without killing anyone, besides a large blood shed,
which didn’t went well. The organization, led by Andres Bonifacio, aimed at
making the Spaniards pay for what they’ve done, no depend what it cost. They
didn’t prefer silent revolution, they favor force and action. What I preferred most
in this movie is that though Rizal used to be exiled in Dapitan and lived there as a
prisoner, he have stayed calm and have nevertheless achieved many beneficial
matters for the country. He have prepared and set up a cooperative, supporting the
Mindanao people by means of teaching them to unite for trading to free themselves
from the Chinese and be unbiased in trading their very own products. While he was
once like a prisoner in Dapitan, he nevertheless endured to serve his country. When
he used to be about to be executed, Rizal stated the verses of the Mi Ultimo Adios
which he left a copy to his family. Rizal was genuinely a man with many
accomplishments. He places others before his own.

He puts the sake of his country earlier than his personal and he is willing to
sacrifice his very own existence for the sake of his countrymen, placing aside his
romance and personal life. He used to be a very patriotic and nationalistic man; a
person for his countrymen who didn’t desired to see his countrymen suffering,
being exploited, and mostly, being oppressed via others. He didn’t simply seem to
be at human beings or even just inform them what they must do; he helped them in
their work. Although he is sensible enough, he didn’t boast and remained as
humble as he could be.

One of the foremost necessary individuals within the Philippine History is Dr. Jose
ProtacioRizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda. Whenever I hear his name, very first
thing that may comeout to my mind is, he's the National Hero.I am a freshman
student of Saint Mary’s University. I even have one subject that is acompulsory to
any or all students, it’s the Rizal subject. From its title itself, it’s
all regarding theNational hero. My Rizal subject has a very important role to my
life as a result of I’ve learnedmore vital insights and knowledge regarding Rizal’s
life conjointly the} importance of hisworks and writings to American state and also
to my fellowmen. I became a lot of attentive to hissacrifices and noble deeds and
concepts. i spotted that it's higher to be enlightened earlier.

Jose Protacio Mercado Alonzo y Realonda Rizal, he used to be born on June 19,
1861 and died on Dec 30, 1896. Rizal is most commemorated and acclaimed
patriot in the Philippines diagnosed for his unselfish contribution in the historical
and social transformation in the country, he is one of the National heroes of the
Philippines together with Andres Bonifacio. He also writes El Filibusterismo and
Noli me Tangere. Rizal as a baby was once a lover of Literature arts and wrote a
poem named “Ang aking mga kabata”. Rizal was once born from rich Family in
Calamba, Laguna. The film tells the lifestyles story of Jose Rizal, the national hero
of the Philippines. It covers his life from his childhood to his execution at the
hands of the Spanish forces occupying the Philippines in the late 19th century

. We are additionally thrown into the world of Rizal's novels, so we get a glimpse
of how he considered Filipino society beneath the Spanish heal. The film Jose
Rizal which was excellently performed via Cesar Montano as the lead role used to
be a heartwarming one that shows how Rizal runs his life. The movie additionally
works thru a series of flashback showing Rizal as a genius, a write, a doctor, an
artist, a lover, a friend, a brother, a son that offers texture to his character. It
suggests the excellent rationalization of the Philippine history, the nationalism and
heroism in a non-violent manner, though, there have been instances that the
characters talk in Spanish language and I couldn’t recognize it except I will
examine the subtitles. I should also say that the different characters weren’t having
any difficulties in reciting their Spanish lines. He is arrested by using the Spanish
authorities upon his return to the Philippines in 1892. He is sent to Dapitan in
Mindanao the place the Spanish authorities can hold a watchful eye on him. It is
there that the meets the love of his life, Josephine Bracken, though the movie does
no longer devote an awful lot interest to this love affair. When a rise up breaks out
in 1896 the Spanish governor orders that Rizal be moved to the jail in Manila. If
Rizal is nonetheless lives in our generation, he will positive that all Filipino has an
proposal like him by using being learning know-how is the entirety that all of
Filipino was once educated even in they are poor he will also not train but to
recognize what is being a Nationalism and loving our personal language.

Rizal is the hero that are courageous battle in the whole thing even for his
lifestyles and work, in the movie I watch he stated that we do now not want to
blood to be shed, we can combat them with our expertise and displaying that we
are equal to them. I suppose if he is now right here in our generation maybe we
Filipino are now not like this even in our trouble what we experience today.

The lifetime of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the Philippine National Hero from his time of
life, his education and also the struggle for freedom through his writings and
thru his life, is that the fundamentals of the Philippine history.

While observance the film, I felt mixed emotions given the actual fact that it had
been created to assist United States, Filipinos, perceive what our national hero
had in serious trouble the country. It shows however Rizal extremely love
his state for him to sacrificed his own life.
The film additionally works through a series of flashback showing Rizal as a
genius, a write, a doctor, an artist, a lover, a friend, a brother, a son that
offers texture to his character.

It shows the good rationalization of the Philippine history, the nationalism

and bravery in an exceedingly non-violent manner, though, there have been times
that the characters speak in Spanish language and that i couldn’t comprehend
it unless i'll scan the subtitles. I may additionally say that the opposite characters
weren’t having any difficulties in reciting their Spanish lines.

The actors’ dedication for the film is inevitable particularly Cesar Montano United
Nations agency is incredibly excellent for the role of Rizal. His values
and nice performance because the lead actor is impeccable and contains a great
impact on American state as the audience of the aforementioned film.

Also, the supporting casts like Jhong Hilario United Nations agency compete as
Rizal’s servant, Jaime Fabregas as Rizal’s professional did a good job
on representational process their role fluently. They created it simple on behalf of
me to know the flow of the story.

However, there are negative comments that i need to say regarding the film. The
plot was jam-packed with twists and turns. it's confusing to look at as a result
of too several flashbacks and you couldn’t guess whether or not it is still in
flashback or not. Also, some scenes are brutal, and a few don't seem to
be appropriate for young children like the bed scene whereby the Spanish priest
with the used of his power tried to rape a Filipino girl.
They should’ve cut that scene knowing that this film isn't just for old-aged
viewers however additionally to the scholars United Nations agency are finding
out the lifetime of Rizal, significantly people who have the topic El Filibusterismo
and Noli American state Tangere.

All in all, the film is fantastically nice. it had been epic, comedy and scholarly
person. There are funny, tearful, griefs; emotion scenes that will certainly cause
you to appreciate it. The characters are persistent.
I significantly love the last scene once Rizal fell within the ground facing the sky,
having his last breath explore a pretty surprise – it solely shows that Rizal failed
to die vainly. His death was simply the start of everything we have a tendency
to aim to face the Spaniards United Nations agency created United States suffer.

After observance the film, I couldn’t facilitate however feel the sense of pride
being him because the Philippine National Hero. there's nobody like
Rizal. he's a inheritance of what a true Filipino is.

The history film, Jose Rizal (1998) directed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya and star Cesar
Montano as José Rizal, recounts the life and works of our National
Hero throughout the constitution of the Spaniards within the Philippines. By and
huge, Jose Rizal (1998) may be a commendable film with nice actors
and sensible transition of events. It clearly delineate the pitiful and despicable state
of affairs of the Filipinos within the hands of the Spaniards, that stirred the mind
and heart of Rizal to face the fact which he did therefore through education and
writing.

When I finished observation the film, there are 2 vital things ought to
have note that's being highlighted throughout the film – the importance of
education and also the ‘pen being mightier than the sword’.
Education is that the key to success, on what the recent and enduring maxim states.
Rizal, at a awfully young age, offers nice magnitude to education even till the
tip and even once his life is in danger. The youth deemed to be the hope of the
society as Rizal viewed it, ought to provide a lot of importance to their
education. though he didn't save his life and still died a martyr, his works being
studied throughout the ages within the Philippine programme is that the case in
point of what education has schooled him. Noli Maine Tangere and El
Filibusterismo is his work of art that aims to bring
around lightweight the malicious deeds of the Spaniards and fire up the minds and
heart of each Filipino to reality.

The pen is mightier than the steel as another maxim states is clearly apt in Rizal’s
life. All tries to oust the Spaniards from the Philippine terra firma through mutiny,
rebellion, and revolution, are utterly futile. Dr. Jose Rizal, on the
opposite hand, most well-liked the civilized manner of revolt by victimization his
pen and is that the initial to succeed. it had been through his works that we tend
to are able to gain our freedom once 333 years of being slaves, that is,
however, within the expense of his life. it had been his pen rather than the guns and
weapons that succeeded in subjection the Spaniards.

If i'd outline what noble is, I’d say Dr. Jose P. Rizal. he's a person of his words,
and his love for his country is on the far side compare. he's rather
like any people bearing the options of a Filipino. we tend to are all Filipino and out
of variant folks within the Philippines, it had been solely him UN agency created a
good distinction. He was this powerful with a pen in his hand and love for the
country in his heart that he was able to modification the Philippine history. His
love for education is ought to have note still.
Dr. Jose Rizal’s life schooled us not simply history however of
varied values still. the foremost vital issue is education. we must always provide a
lot of importance to our education. Without it, we’d be naive and fragile. it had
been our greatest weapon to success. Another issue is nationalism. It
wasn’t concerning risking your life for your countrymen however to like our own
country and patronize our own. the most effective issue to point out nationalism is
to use our own language. As a matter of reality, Rizal wrote a literary
composition for the youth entitled militia Aking Kabata, that emphasizes the
utilization of our own language. we must always love our own as a result of if we
tend to don’t, we’re rather like AN alien to our own country.

The death of Dr. Jose P. Rizal is that the birth of our independence. He died for his
country, for our freedom. His life ANd works are an eye-opener. allow us
to not place his death into zip. allow us to not be alien to our own country. allow us
to not forget however he fought arduous together with different Filipino heroes to
regain our freedom and take back our own country. we must always love our
own initial and not place foreign countries over our own.

The first factor I detected in Dr. Jose Rizal’s life was that he lived a
straightforward one. He didn't prefer to have an opulent life just like
the most folks have needed. Even before he became beneath police
investigation by the Spaniards, he had lived his life as straightforward as doable. i
feel it absolutely was the work of his oldsters that created him lived like this.
I powerfully believe that one’s life style is influenced principally by their oldsters.
I learned from the lifetime of Rizal the importance of collaborating of the fogeys to
their children’s morals.

The second factor that I determined from the lifetime of Rizal was his
calmness and talent to assume rationally even within the most
intricate circumstances. His support of Philippine Independence is by legal and
peaceful method that's why he wrote several books so as to fire-up the
revolutionary spirit of the Filipinos.

As an informed man…

Rizal’s philosophy of education centers on the availability of correct motivation so

as to strengthen the nice social forces that build education a hit, to form within
the youth associate degree innate want to cultivate his intelligence and
provides him aliveness. during this philosophy, I learned the worth of education as
a stepping stone towards gaining success for myself and for my country.
Since there's associate degree enough motivation to check and explore
by knowledge, I created this associate degree encouragement to myself that
education shall not solely stop among the corners of lecture
rooms however shall additionally extend till the corners of the globe. Rizal’s belief
that awakening the innate want of each Filipino youth to cultivate his intelligence
is such an excellent factor that each individual has got to reflect. His philosophy
was thoroughbred by his instructional attainment, therefore giving a robust support
of his instructional philosophy and giving him the quality to speak such path
towards educational success.

As a non secular man…

Rizal didn't believe the Catholic dogma that salvation was just
for Catholics which outside Christianity; salvation wasn't doable albeit Catholics
composed solely alittle minority of the world’s spiritual teams. Nor did
he believe the Catholic observation of fast as a sacrifice, nor within the sale of
such spiritual things because the cross, medals, rosaries and also the like so as to
propagate the religion and lift church funds. He additionally lambasted
the irrational beliefs propagated by the clergymen within the church and in
the faculties. It solely shows that Rizal has very taken hold of salvation as a free
gift to everybody. This additionally shows that he opposes the Catholic teaching of
cash indulgence for the forgiveness of sins. tho' Rizal was born from a closely-knit
Catholic Family, he still fought for what's true. His spiritual philosophy approves a
neighborhood of our Wesleyan beliefs which could be a smart factor that we must
always be happy concerning. what is more, I learned that eventhough he has gone
that way in his attainments, he didn't lose his humility and his religion to God.

As a political man…
Rizal’s guiding political philosophy verified to be the study and application of
reforms, the extension of human rights, the coaching for self government and also
the arousing of spirit of discontent over oppression, brutality, inhumanity,
sensitiveness and self love. Rizal cried out for the independence of his own country
and his fellow men. In his cry, he created reforms, he plead through his writings
and he bravely arranged his opposition against the cold-blooded and brutal
management of the Spaniards over the Filipinos. One factor I learned from his life
is that he wasn't panicky with the sturdy power of the Spaniards however instead
he let himself shine and speak informed the difficulty that he and his country is
facing. this might be a robust passion and determination to line free a rustic that
deserves liberty. I additionally determined on my readings that
Rizal ne'er desired for political power, however instead he served as a catalyst
that wordlessly works nice in his own ways in which. At the tip of his life, he has
remained fighting for freedom, and till his last breath, he has fought a decent fight
eventhough it caused him his life.

As a socially-equipped man…
Rizal’s social philosophy dealt with
1. man in society;
2. important factors in human life;
3. racial problems;
4. social constant;
5. social justice;
6. social ideal;
7. economic condition and wealth;
8. reforms;
9. youth and greatness;
10. history and progress;
11. future Philippines.

Basing on these philosophies, I will say that Rizal could be a terribly humane,
compassionate and benevolent subject. He
has forbidden social issues through his fashionable books Noli Pine Tree
State T’angere and El Filibusterismo. he's an envoy or social justice and
equality, that could be a superb factor that we must always follow. If there have
been solely thousands of persons like Rizal, i feel our society are at good shape.
I invariably hope I might be like him in some areas of his life, however i do
know that it's faraway from reality to happen. however what i'm doing is
that i'm functioning at my best, creating each effort to become a productive
individual in numerous aspects of life.

His few remaining possessions, including the final letters and his last bequests,
were handed to his family. Within hearing of the Spanish guards he informed his
sisters in English, "There is something inside it," referring to the alcohol stove
given by the Pardo de Taveras. Inside it they found his final poem, undated but
believed to have been written in the days before his execution. He also instructed
them to "Look in my shoes." Exhumation of his remains in August 1898 under
American rule revealed he had been uncoffined, his burial not on sanctified ground
granted the 'confessed' faithful, and whatever was hidden in his shoes had
disintegrated.

In his last letter to his family he wrote: "Treat our aged parents as you would wish
to be treated...Love them greatly in memory of me

Rizal died with honor and leave a memorable experience to our country. That's
why we must consider Rizal as our hero, as the greastest hero in our country. It's
just a sad story that he was killed in his young age. But his death brings freedom to
the Filipinos.
