Rizal was so intelligent but the thing that done to him is not good and not accurate for Rizal because he is the one who saved Philippines from the harshly doing of the Spaniards but the Spaniards don't want to accept their mistake but I'm happy because the Philippines today have a democracy. I think Rizal because of him the Philippines had the democracy and the Filipinos were brightened in the real story behind the Philippines. This is made for us to know what is happening before. It so harshly but Rizal didn't stop to write novels. A true hero is not seen in fighting in a war and died but it sees on how much you love your country and people in it, you’re proud to be a Filipino and you do the best for the people. I hope that those things in the film would not happen again.

The movie “Jose Rizal” is all about our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal – Hislife and works, his struggles in order to free his countrymen from abuse, until hisdeath under the hands of the Spaniards who occupied our country for a very longtime.Most of the scenes of the film took place during Rizal’s imprisonment atDapitan wherein he meets Taviel, a Spanish officer, who will eventually defendhim on his trial in court. During their meeting, Taviel asks Rizal everything abouthim and his works through various questions. Every answer that Rizal broughtout from his mouth made Taviel realize that Rizal was indeed an innocent man.On the course of their conversation, Rizal talks about the making of hisTwo Novels “Noli Me Tangere” and its sequel “El Filibusterismo” which are bothanti Spanish Novels that depicts how the Spaniards rule the Philippines and howthe rights of the Filipinos were abolished. Rizal portrayed himself on the saidNovels – as Crisostomo Ibarra on “Noli Me Tangere” and as Simeon on “ElFilibusterismo.”Going through with the movie, while Rizal is telling his story to Taviel, thescene on the movie switches from his life story then to his portrayal on hisNovels. Sometimes the scene gets very difficult to follow because of the suddenswitches during the scenes on the movie most especially during the time that hisfirst novel was on the process of writing.Rizal, a brave and a man of his word, was never afraid whatever theconsequences he may suffer because of his writings that are against the friarsand also to Spaniards.

The Filipinos have a rich archive of history, from the prehistoric era, to the Spaniards rule in the Philippines, followed by the Americans and the Japanese, followed by the Marcos regime, up to the present situation of the country. All these events have a significant contribution to who the Filipinos are today. We have been honed for so long a time and still are being molded in this present generation. This study is important in order to awaken the Filipinos of today on whether or not the Philippine national hero should be called as such. Renato Constantino wrote in his article, “Veneration Without Understanding,” that 1) Rizal denied the revolution-- stressing primacy of education and his general regard to the revolution is not as high as expected 2) he was an American- sponsored hero and 3) was a limited Filipino and has loved the country in his own ilustrado way. On the other hand, Floro Quibuyen, another respected historian of his generation commented in his book, “A Nation Aborted,” 1) that there is a wrong dichotomy in formulating the ideas in Constantino’s article, 2) that there is an ideological conflict in any type, 3) that in politics, the conflict is among those who are in authority and 4) reform and revolution cannot be totally separated from each other. The results of the study are as follows: of the 50 respondents, 41 of them have read Jose Rizal’s Writings while 9 of them have not, 28 students say that Jose Rizal’s writings wake up their nationalism, 7 say they are good literature, and 15 say they are essential for every Filipino to read, 14 are aware of the issues regarding Jose Rizal as the national hero while 36 are not, 17 say that he still is suitable…

The film also works through a series of flashback showing Rizal as a genius, a writer, a doctor, an artist, a lover, a friend, a brother and a son, thus giving a rich texture of Rizal's character. I also commend the film for its bravery in showing the evil tyranny of the Catholic Church during that time. Considering that the Philippines is a Catholic nation, that is like butchering a sacred cow but alas, Abaya works her magic in depicting the suffering of the Filipinos because of the friars.…

I should be ashamed of myself to confess that I don’t know him that much. This guy has six names and I only know him by the name he was known to the world – José Rizal. I am envious of others who kept a memory of the names of all the women he’d loved before. With great humility, I admit I only know two of them: Leonor Rivera and Josephine Bracken, the faces whom I associate with Mickey Feriols and Chin Chin Gutierrez. I don’t know how or when he was born except that he died on December 30 because it’s a national holiday. I have no idea how many courses he took in Ateneo and UST except that I know he took medicine that’s why they call him Dr. José Rizal. All I know is that José Rizal is the Philippine national hero and he died because the Spaniards executed him for his attempts to overturn the Catholic Church and liberate the Filipinos from the Spanish dominion. Nevertheless, I’d like to comfort myself to the belief that in order to appreciate what José Rizal has done for the country, someone need not to know everything about him including the petty things like how he comb his hair or does he wear undergarments or does his fart smell bad as well. I believe these things are beyond our concern to delve into. The purpose of the subject is to make us realize his noble deeds and instill in our minds how José Rizal selflessly devoted his life for the love of his country and his…

The film emphasized the fruitful life of Jose Rizal. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, an important person in the history of the Philippines and an icon that we can find in every history books in our country. We know him as the guy who dated a lot of women, he was short and not that physically attractive as others but he was more than that. Behind that minute physique of his, is a man that was full of courage and bravery. The film didn’t fail to give everyone an idea about how brave and bold Rizal was to stand for what he believed was right and what our country truly deserved. It uncovered his life from his childhood until his execution at the hands of the Spanish colonizers, who occupied Philippines for 333 years. The film also highlighted his two famous novels, ‘Noli Me Tangere’ and ‘El Filibusterismo’, and the character which Rizal immortalized- Simoun and Señor Ibarra.

It’s been 150 years when Rizal gave his life to our country for us to be awaken in the abuses, wrong doings, and treats of Spaniards to the Filipinos. It’s been a very long time but his advocacy of opening the hearts of the people as he spread the bastardness of the evils through literature, doesn’t die. The spirit and lessons, ideas and truths about the Kastila’s which was contained in his book was alive and will not vanish in the consciousness of Filipino individuals. It’s been 150 years but it seems that we don’t learn. Still there are many poor families. Many people were hungry. Many don’t have their homes. Our high percentage of forest wealth was lost. Our culture of different aspects was slowly destroying because of the different influences that come in our consciousness as time go by. Our country was always in debts. It’s been 150 years but how come in this very long time we’re still at the bottom of the society? We’re still in the bottom of the list? Although we are rich in natural resources. The government is in charged in the system of the country. Our progress is in the hands of the president. If Rizal was alive today and is able to see the abuses to the “Kaban ng Bayan” by the different buwayas in our government, especially those Mayors in Local Government and some evil members of House of Representatives, it is the point where he will write about.…

Basically, this article is just about how Renato Constantino wants the readers to analyze the real story behind Rizal being our national hero, the aspects that contributed to such recognition, his condemnation of the revolution, and other factors that we failed to talk about over the years because they were not in our history books. Rizal, being our national hero, used writing to fight to gain our freedom from the Spaniards unlike Andres Bonifacio, he lead the KKK. Mr. Renato Constantino wants the Filipinos to analyze why Jose Rizal should be emulated? Was he really a hero at that who wanted the country to gain its own hold in the government but yet still a province of the Spain? Why is he called our hero? Is it because he died for our country? Or is it because he had enough courage to fight a losing battle, despite the fact that all he wanted to do was to surrender?…

The Kaspil life is a long road to putting yourself into another man’s life. We have spent the past 3 months learning and and understanding the life of a man, who happens to be our national hero. In my whole Kaspil experience, I was able to link myself to our national hero. I never thought I would have such a connection. Before, he was just someone I had to know because of school. But now, I am truly grateful that I have met the true Jose Rizal. Through the Kaspil experience, I have bonded with our national hero. I have truly related myself to him because, his problems may be of the extremities, but we shared the same problems. The nature of our dilemmas was the same. Like being stuck in the middle, and not being able to have the freedom to choose or decide for you. Like being held against your will because you’re trying to do what is right, and trying to correct what is wrong. Rizal made me see what is truly important in life, and what we should really value in our existence. I bow down to our national hero. He was not anxious to die in cold blood. He was anxious to matter. He was anxious to touch people’s lives and make a change. He saved us Filipinos from being bullied and earned us our freedom through his death. They say, there’s nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer. Well I say, there’s nothing stronger than Rizal’s heart. The heart of a true hero, that Rizal really owns. I am truly grateful to have received this gift of really learning about our national hero and touched my life to put the things I’ve learned in real life. Basically, my Kaspil experience was like being in a session with a psychologist. I’ve got so many life advices just by listening, understanding, and appreciating another man’s life. This experience was more than just learning. It was a mode of entertainment as well. I can truly claim that I am now a well-formed person because of this opportunity that I was given the opportunity to learn and experience the life of Jose Rizal…

But what about the controversy of Rizal’s heroism? Do we, Filipinos, know or even mind these things? Maybe this question can test us either we still know our points of origins. Most of the Filipinos didn’t know about this until they entered the Rizal course. Most of the people, I guess, have little to none at all knowledge about this. As what he said, Rizal was an American made sponsored hero, however, it should be clear to all, that Americans did not appoint Rizal to be a national hero, the Americans just paved the way in order for the Filipinos to choose a hero. Although Americans favored Rizal, still they were not the ones to appoint him. They just supported Rizal. I think it is some true but until now I am on the…
