MOVIE REVIEW
(RIZAL SA DAPITAN, JOSE RIZAL THE MOVIE, AND BAYANING 3RD WORLD)
SUBJECT
THE LIFE AND WORKS OF JOSE RIZAL

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.
