MOVIE REVIEW
(RIZAL SA DAPITAN, JOSE RIZAL THE MOVIE, AND BAYANING 3RD WORLD)
SUBJECT
THE LIFE AND WORKS OF JOSE RIZAL
BS ARCHITECURE 3C
INSTRUCTOR
I like the film’s approach in searching for answers for the controversy, bringing to life important characters in
Rizal’s life like Paciano, Fr. Balaguer, Trining, Teodora, Josephine Bracken and even Rizal himself to personally ask
them about what really happened in Rizal’s last few days. Each character’s answers, I understood are subjective
or if not are from the different writings or diaries found. After all those effort of finding the truth about Rizal’s
alleged retraction, there has been no strong evidence that could put an end to it. Some believed he wrote that
just to marry Josephine, some says the signature was forged, some says everything was just all invented by the
Catholic Church at that time to erase to the notion of Rizal, mortal enemy of the Church, as our hero. Indeed, Rizal
buried with him the truth about this controversy and we are left to believe what we want to individually believe.
Generally, this film is educational and can be viewed by all. And by this, they can acquire knowledge and
moral values in life. Finally, this film “Bayaning Third World” is enjoyable to watch, timely and does have
historical documentary background that embodies the entirety of our country.
