II. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE FILM

 IT ALL STARTED WITH RIZAL'S WORKS, WHICH TOLD THE TRUTH. THE STEPS IN RAISING
THE VEIL TO RECTIFY THE GOVERNMENT'S AND CHURCH'S FALSE WORDS WERE NOLI
 ME TANGERE AND EL FILIBUSTERISMO. THE NOVEL RESPONDS TO THE DAMAGING
ACCUSATIONS LEVELED ABOUT FILIPINOS. THE PLIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINES WAS
SHOWN VIA THEIR CRIES.
THE FILIPINOS' INDIGNATION AT THE REBEL GOVERNMENT AND THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE OVER THE DECEPTIVE SPANISH GOVERNMENT WAS FUELED
BY RIZAL'S NOVELS. AS A RESULT, THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT ACCUSES JOSE RIZAL OF
BEING THE CATALYST FOR THE DISCLOSURE. RIZAL'S BROTHER PACIANO WAS ALSO
TORTURED SINCE HIS CONFESSION WAS LINKED TO THE REVELATION.
THE SECOND POINT IS RIZAL'S MESSAGE TO SPAIN. THE ONLY THING THAT THE FILIPINO
PEOPLE DESIRE IS EQUALITY. THROUGH EDUCATION AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, A
PEACEFUL TRANSFORMATION CAN BE ACHIEVED. RECOGNIZE THE FILIPINO AS A
HUMAN BEING WITH THE SAME RIGHTS AS THE SPANIARDS.
FOR THE THIRD TIME, RIZAL TRAVELED TO EUROPE. PACIANO, HIS OLDER BROTHER,
SENT HIM THERE TO STUDY MEDICINE AND DO WHAT WAS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY.
HE'D LEARN THERE AND BE FREE TO CONFRONT THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT'S STENCH
IN THE PHILIPPINES. HE IS FREE TO WRITE ABOUT THE COUNTRY'S NEED FOR CHANGE
AND JUSTICE.
RIZAL RETURNED TO THE PHILIPPINES IN JANUARY 1891. THERE WAS A SCHISM WITHIN
THE MOVEMENT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ELECT A
PRESIDENT. ACCORDING TO MARCELO H., IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE WAY TO
LA SOLIDARIDAD'S DESIRE FOR PRIVACY IS REPRESENTED BY DEL PILAR.
THE DATE OF HIS DEATH WAS DECEMBER 30, 1896. RIZAL REFLECTED ON HIS TIME AT
THE ATENEO AS HE WALKED TOWARDS HIS FINAL DESTINATION. THE START OF HIS
WONDERFUL DAY. RIZAL'S FINAL DESIRE WAS TO FACE THE PEOPLE WHO SHOT HIM,
BUT HE WAS DENIED. INSTEAD, RIZAL JUST REQUESTED THAT HE NOT BE SMACKED ON
THE HEAD. THE REVOLT IN THE PHILIPPINES GREW STRONGER AFTER RIZAL'S DEATH.
ON JUNE 12, 1898, THE PHILIPPINES DECLARED INDEPENDENCE. RIZAL WAS NAMED A
NATIONAL HERO A FEW YEARS AGO.

IIII. CONCLUSION

 WHAT WAS THE DIRECTOR PURPOSE ON INTENTION

 A HISTORICAL LESSON

 THE THEME OF THE FILM

 The film focuses on two key themes rebellion and treachery, highlighting how Rizal
used his influential writings and contacts to openly express his frustrations against the
Catholic church.

 WHAT ARE THE MORAL / LESSON OF THE FILM

 ONE OF THE MORAL LESSON THE I GOT IS BEING TRUE TO YOUR SELF AND MOST
ESPECIALLY YOUR COUNTRY

 YOUR OPINION BASE ON THE FILM

 His life was truly fascinating and colorful, as the hero's experiences shaped him into the
person God intended for him to be. For my own understanding, Jose Rizal informs me
 the value of several things that are critical to his life's achievement. God, Family,
Country, and Self are the four pillars of my life. Without God, he would not have been
able to get so far.

 BASE ON THE DOCUMENT LIFE OF RIZAL, HOW WILL YOU DEFINED AND EXPLAIN THE
WORD HERO?
 In the Philippines, Jose Rizal is revered as a hero for his patriotism and dedication to his
homeland, as well as his compelling writing, novels, and propaganda, and the historical
significance of his execution. Jose Rizal complained about the Spanish government's
tyranny and unfairness.
A person who has achieved great and/or heroic deeds, in my opinion. A soldier or nurse
from World War I or II is an example of a hero. A real or mythical person of great
bravery who performs extraordinary deeds.

 CITE AN EXAMPLE ( BASE IN YOUR LIFE ) WHEREIN YOU DISOBEY YOUR PARENTS JUST
TO DO WHAT YOU WANT
 That depends on the parent. Some people are unaware that you exist. You will be
shunned by others till you die. The majority of people fall somewhere around the
middle.

 IN YOUR POINT OF VIEW, WHAT WER RIZAL'S GREATEST AND WEAKEST ATTRIBUTES?
 Greatest his devotion to his country.
 Weakest he chose not to join the revolution.
