MOVIE REVIEW
the film, Jose RIzal's mother was accused of attempting to poison her sister in law and she was imprisoned for
almost 2 years.This revenge of the friars to Rizal's family to protected Jose Rizal, Paciano advised him not to use
anymore and Only Rizal. For him, we are not yet ready and it is not the right time. Rizal however was charged
with being the leader of revolution and he was sentenced to death and Rizal was fired on December 30, 1896
at the Bagumbayan,Manila. His family and the Filipino people mourned for his death.Filipinos joined the
uprisings and with Rizals death,we have achived independece on June 12, 1896. Rizal died with have honor
,brave ,smart and dignity for his country.
