The movie “Jose Rizal” tells us about the life of our

national hero which is Jose Rizal. The film showed us
the life of the filipinos through jose rizal’s story.

In the movie the life of the filipnos in that time was

very hard. Filipinos are obliged to obey every law and
every words of the spanish friars. It also shows us
how spanish friars take advantage of the ignorance of
the filipinos. They abused filipinos in different ways
for example the friars raped young girls. It shows us
that the catholic church in that time uses their
influence and power to get what they want. In the
story Dr. Jose Rizal just wanted for the filipinos and
spaniards have equal rights but the spaniards never
give it to them instead they punish whoever oppose
the way they run the country for example the father
burgos who wanted to be a priest but the spaniards
neglect it and punish the father burgos by executing
him in front of all the other filipinos
It was also shown in the movie how Dr. Jose Rizal
inspired the Filipinos to fight for their freedom and
rights through the novels he wrote. Many people
opened their eyes that leads through the creation of
the revolutionary group or the Kataas-
taasang,Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga anak
ng bayan led by the founder of katipunan Andres
Bonifacio.

The Freedom we have today is all thanks to our

heroes who fought for our motherland, either by
weapons or a single pen. Because of this movie I
learned that we should value our own race that we
should fight for our country just like the heroes. The
bravery of those filipinos who gave their last breath
to fight for motherland the philippines. I was inspired
by their patriotism. I was slightly guilty because I
always praised other countries instead of our
countries. We filipinos may not be under any
countries influence now but most of us forget who we
really are and we tend to copy other countries way of
living because of this we are forgetting that we are
FILIPINOS not Foreigners.
