The movie is about the Spaniards Government and Jose Rizal’s life where in hefaced difficulties which molded

him as a person he was. Jose

Rizal was portrayed byCesar Montano as the main character the film. The film recounts about Rizal’s exile inprison. He was imprisoned by the
Spaniards because of he has written two novels NoliMe Tangere and El Filibusterismo together with the accusation that he had started
arevolution. As Rizal meets Taviel, a Spanish soldier in charge of Rizal’s case, Rizalencounters a series of flashbacks. Taviel found out that Rizal
was innocent. But, thefriars who were the main target of his books, wanted to end Rizal’s life. The highlights of the movie are the courtroom
scene where Rizal makes his defense, and the executionscene at Bagumbayan, there are other scenes more memorable to me. Rizal was a son,a
brother and a friend. He was taught and raised to be a responsible individual. He wastaught a bit of Spanish by his mother and was later on sent to
a local school. There, hefirst encountered Spanish abuse. He was sent to Europe to study medicine, her mother had a problem with her eyes that’s
why he was motivated to do well in studying abroad.His brother, Paciano, had been his motivator to do better in school because he was alsoan
eyewitness of the brutality of the Spaniards. My favorite part is the scene of the anatomy class where Rizal sits in with theSpanish and Filipino
male students. When the Spanish Tomasite professor and a tallSpanish pupil mock the shorter Filipinos in claiming that height is a symbol of
Spain'ssuperiority over the Philippines, Rizal boldly stands up to question why Spain is losingsome of her colonies to natives who are even
shorter. This causes the Filipinos in classto burst out laughing. Cesar Montana had a great work in portraying Jose Rizal becausehe has a charm
and also has a great acting skills that enchant me to continue watchingthe film. I will definitely recommend this movie because a lot of issues
we’re discussedduring the regime of Spaniards in the Philippines, not only issues but details about thethings that we can surely knew about
Rizal’s life. Where in a lot of people will beeducated why he consider as our Philippine Hero and also about the happenings duringthat time. The
movie excerpts some El Fili and Noli Scences that was portrayed by Joeltorre. All in all, the movie is wonderful to watch and does not have any
boring moments.The interpretation of Rizal works is successfully done by the creators of the film. Theyoung “Pepe” can be an inspiration to all
generation today. By the young age hebecame very smart with his charm on. He studies well and obeyed his family for hisfuture. The love of Jose
Rizal of our country shows patriotism and nationalism. That’swhy as time passed by while the generation continuously changes the life and work
of Jose Rizal will forever remain in the Filipinos hearts. Not only here in the Philippines butalso all over the world.
