Rizal's Life

Jose Protacio Mercado Alonzo y Realonda Rizal, he was born on June 19, 1861 and died on Dec 30, 1896. Rizal is most venerated and acclaimed patriot in the Philippines recognized 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 child was a lover of Literature arts and wrote a poem named “Ang aking mga kabata”. Rizal was born from wealthy Family in Calamba, Laguna. The movie tells the life 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 also thrown into the world of Rizal's novels, so we get a glimpse of how he viewed Filipino society under the Spanish heal. The movie Jose Rizal which was excellently played by Cesar Montano as the lead role was a heartwarming one that shows how Rizal runs his life.
The film also 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 gives texture to his character. It shows the great explanation of the Philippine history, the nationalism and heroism in a non-violent manner, though, there were times that the characters speak in Spanish language and I couldn’t understand it unless I will read the subtitles. I could also say that the other characters weren’t having any difficulties in reciting their Spanish lines. He is arrested by the Spanish authorities upon his return to the Philippines in 1892. He is sent to Dapitan in Mindanao where the Spanish authorities can keep a watchful eye on him. It is there that the meets the love of his life, Josephine Bracken, although the movie does not devote much attention to this love affair. When a rebellion breaks out in 1896 the Spanish governor orders that Rizal be moved to the prison in Manila. If Rizal is still lives in our generation, he will sure that all Filipino has an inspiration like him by being learning knowledge is everything that all of Filipino was educated even in they are poor he will also not teach but to understand what is being a Nationalism and loving our own language. Rizal is the hero that are brave fight in everything even for his life and work, in the film I watch he said that we do not need to blood to be shed, we can fight them with our knowledge and showing that we are equal to them. I think if he is now here in our generation maybe we Filipino are not like this even in our problem what we experience today.
