Reaction Paper on the Movie Rizal
The movie Jose Rizal is all about our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal His life and works, his struggles in order to free his countrymen from abuse, until his death under the hands of the Spaniards who occupied our country for a very long time. Most of the scenes of the film took place during Rizals imprisonment at Dapitan wherein he meets Taviel, a Spanish officer, who will eventually defend him on his trial in court. During their meeting, Taviel asks Rizal everything about him and his works through various questions. Every answer that Rizal brought out from his mouth made Taviel realize that Rizal was indeed an innocent man. On the course of their conversation, Rizal talks about the making of his Two Novels Noli Me Tangere and its sequel El Filibusterismo which are both anti Spanish Novels that depicts how the Spaniards rule the Philippines and how the rights of the Filipinos were abolished. Rizal portrayed himself on the said Novels as Crisostomo Ibarra on Noli Me Tangere and as Simeon on El Filibusterismo. Going through with the movie, while Rizal is telling his story to Taviel, the scene on the movie switches from his life story then to his portrayal on his Novels. Sometimes the scene gets very difficult to follow because of the sudden switches during the scenes on the movie most especially during the time that his first novel was on the process of writing. Rizal, a brave and a man of his word, was never afraid whatever the consequences he may suffer because of his writings that are against the friars and also to Spaniards. His goal was to free the Philippines from the unjust government of Spanish colony. In summary, the movie talks mostly of Rizals life until his death and the creation of his great novels. The actors and actresses who acted on the movie did a great job presenting how it was during Rizals time even though the said events in Rizals life were just written in books.
