Rizal Life Reaction

One of the strengths of Jose Rizal is the internalization of the examples of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in the life of Rizal and of the Filipinos in general. This only shows that the 2 halts are reflections of the comprises of the Filipinos during the Spanish regime. But the thought and noble ideas of the book do not only live in the past just in like manner in the present manifesting the universality and immortality of Rizals ideas. The splendid transition of Rizals time and the setting of the two novels is really impressive.One must be possessed of really read the books to better appraise the movie Jose Rizal. While watching the film, I cannot help but relate Rizal to Crisostomo/Simoun, Leonor to mare Clara. Rizal and Crisostomo both came from a well-off family. two of them studied in Europe. Both put one over dedicated their life to free their mickle from oppression. And then theres a scene where Leonor was travel down the aisle and Maria Clara telling in the nunnery.Both were locked up-the former to a person whom she does not get by the latter(prenominal) to a place, which seems to be a stone-dead end. Maria Clara jumping off from the bell tower is her means to get out, her way towards salvation. The film also works by dint of a series of flashback presentation Rizal as a genius, a writer, a doctor, an artist, a lover, a friend, a brother and a son, thus giving a profuse texture of Rizals character. I also remember the film for its bravery in showing the evil tyranny of the Catholic church service during that time.Considering that the Philippines is a Catholic nation, that is like butcher a sacred cow but alas, Abaya works her magic in picture the suffering of the Filipinos because of the friars. I particularly love the operate scene of the film when Rizal, magnificently played by Cesar Montano by the way, slash in the ground facing the sky, having his last breath looking at a beautiful sunrise- a metaphor represent t hat Rizal did not die in vain.He did not die defeated because his end is the torch that lights Philippine independence, that ignites Philippine Revolution. This is more apparent in the scene where Simoun (a character in El Filibusterismo) appeared to Rizal telling him to fiat the story. Rizal wrote and an imaginary explosion happened. A divide of light and flame overwhelmed the screen. In a way that has been the legacy of Rizal-bringing light to the Filipinos. He died victorious because in the end his recollection and legacy remain forever.
