”Serving Beyond Excellence”
 “Jose Rizal Film Reflection(1998)”
Directed by: Diaz -Abaya
The movie that I watched gave me a mixed feelings of patriotism and despair. This film has power. I did not
feel this three hours-movie long. Director Diaz-Abaya described Rizal not only from outside but from his inner side.
The plot was very complicated, but still not difficult to follow. My heart was touched by Rizal's life. Apart from being a
hero, he is also a good son and brother. Rizal was a stoic person coming from humble roots that was imparted by his
parents.
He was a very amazing person at his time. He was humble, fighting for reforms through his writings instead
of through a revolution. He used his intelligence, talents and skills in a for more peaceful way. He fought from freedom
in a silent but powerful way. He expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essays, articles and poems
rather than a force of aggression.
In the movie, he didn’t really want to fight the Spaniards, and he wished for a more peaceful way for the
Philippines and Spain to coexist with each other. Film tackles about the truth about the government during colonization
of Spaniards in the Philippines. All grievances and frustration as the speaker stated in the movie. Also, a scenario of
Paciano beaten up by the Spaniards, a brother who will always do anything just to protect his family. He was the one
who motivated Rizal to do better in school for the sake of his future. Upon as his brother told him about the Spaniards
and his family experiences during Spanish regime he decided to fight those people through his writings. One of them
are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Those two books that open the eyes of the Filipinos the truth about the
Spaniards. Crisostomo Ibarra and Simoun was portrayed by Joel Torre in the film wherein they give some excerpts
from the Noli and El Fili scenes. Taviel found out that Rizal was innocent. But, the friars who were the main target of
his books, wanted to end Rizal’s life. Rizal influenced and inspired the natives to revolt by revealing his thoughts, his
aspirations and his suggestions through Ibarra. Andres Bonifacio was a fan of Rizal they both want to escape from the
Spaniards but in two different ways.
Jose Rizal might not be in the actual bloody battlefield for freedom from Spanish rule, but his writings were
sources of inspiration for revolutionaries, especially lead by Andres Bonifacio. They have this line called long live
Philippines or “Mabuhay Pilipinas”. Jose Rizal was not up for independence but only for reformation that would lead to
the equality of the natives and the Spaniards in terms of opportunities and uphold better and liberal education for
Indios. He chose to make Simoun more radical in his way in toppling the oppressive forces. From Crisostomo, who
only wants reformation, Rizal transformed him into Simoun who’s dangerously seeking for independence from the
Spaniards. Rizal was not only featured as a writer, doctor, brother, friend or son but also his a lover, wherein the film
shows his great love about Leanor his cousin and the last woman in his life Josephine Bracken.

There a lot of learnings in this film one is that the young “pepe” can be an inspiration to this generation that
values family and education. His love for the country will forever be treasure not just in the history of the Philippines
but in hearts of every Filipino. The life of Rizal is an inspiration for everyone, the things that happens from the past is a
lesson for us to be smart enough so that other will not abuse us again. The movie was heart-warming and I was
inspired by the details or facts that I saw in the film. I will surely recommend it to others because there are no
mundane moments to feel upon watching it. Also it very important for us to know what really is patriotism and
nationalism is. Because Jose Rizal showed that until his death in Bagumbayan. We have one purpose like Jose Rizal
who wanted to live freedom and peace. The courage and dignity, we too wanted these and we need to go beyond
what the yesterday have done. The movie said we could have mistaken because no one in this world is perfect but
what matter most is how we leave the earth that we will be best remembered when we have gone.We are the future of
the Philippines, and we should strive more to be like him. As what Jose Rizal said “It is better to die for the People
than die with nothing done for its future.”
