REACTION PAPER
JOSE RIZAL ( JUNE 19,1861-DECEMBER 30, 1896 )
More than a hundred year’s ago, a hero was born. He was regarded as one of those who fougth for freedom, not literally revolutionary way, but through his work and writings. He fought bloodless way, for he believe that the pen is mightier than the sword.
The director of movie “Jose Rizal” Ms. Marilou Diaz Abaya she wants to send us the issue and problem during colonial period. The issue is that our country has no freedom, no human rights, no dignity and the problem is how to overcome that situation. She wants to know and realize to us the truth and sacrifices that our hero did to our country. To understand that Rizal life is had a reason to study. I think why she do this movie is to enlightenment for us during colonial period.
It showed us how hard it for them to gain the freedom that we are enjoying right now. That behind every free man at the moment is equivalent to a man that’s was maltreated by the Spaniards before. It was a very heroic thing to do, sacrificing your own life and not having assurance if all your sacrifies will be worth it in the end. Every time I think about him and all his talents I felt proud inside of me, well I guess because I am a filipino. Every inch of his life taught us lesson. Every one of his doings were dedicated for his country for every filipinos. His love to his fellow filipino has nothing to compared it. Jose Rizal was portrayed by Ceasar Montano who executed the acts and lines very well with charm that touches my heart. He even clearly delivers his lines especially Spanish language fluently. It show the great explanation of the Philippines history, the nationalism and heroism in a non-violent manner, though, there were times that that the characters speak Spanish language and I couldn’t understand it unless I will read the subtitles. I could also say that the other characters weren’t having any difficulties in reciting their Spanish lines. The actors’ dedication for the film is inevitable especially Cesar Montano who is very perfect for the role of Rizal. His values and great performance as the lead actor is impeccable and has a great impact on me as the audience of the said film. The first thing I noticed in Dr. Jose life Rizal’s was that the live a simple one. He did not choose to have a luxurious life like the most of us have wanted. Even before he became under surveillance by the Spaniards, he had lived his life as simple as possible. I think it was the work of his parents that made him lived like this. I strongly believe that one’s lifestyle Is influenced mostly by their parents. I learned from the life of Rizal the importance of taking part of the parents to their children’s morals.
Jose Rizal, for my own insights, tells me the value of certain things
which is important for the success of his life. That Is God, Family, Country and Self. He could not reach as that far without God. The Lords is the most important one who could determine our success, just like as Rizal feared God and in return, he have been bless abundantly not by material things only but a spiritual one. That is intelligence, skills, love, and compassion. Thanks to Rizal for making inspires me and thanks to our professor who imparts and explains all this knowledge for us to better understands it. His books and the idea of nationalism caught my attention, while others used force to fight the enemies, Rizal used the thing that he’s an expert at writing. His books opened the eyes of the people to the oppression of the Spaniards. The people became more conscious of what they were experiencing and thus led to revolutions. His idea of nationalism taught us how to love our race. It gave us an identity that we are Filipinos and that we should be proud of who we are and where we’re from. I’m very thankful I have this kind of subject where we can discover more about our national hero’s life and everything and help us to appreciate more about his sacrifices for us. But until now, I still don’t know how did Rizal managed to have different girls while fighting for our freedom and for our country yet doing very good with his academics at the same time. This is also one of the things I adore about Rizal, is how intelligent he is, all his subjects were graded as excellent. I always hope I could be like him in some areas of his life, but I know that is far from reality to happen, But what I am doing is that I am performing at my best, making every effort to become a productive individual in different aspects of life. And now, our country finally restored its liberty and freedom because of Rizal’s effort and love. His works and noble deeds greatly influencethe Filipinos. It is indeed a good reference for the country’s education in developing student’s patriotism. Filipinos owe him a lot. I wish someday his sacrifices never faded and be forgotten even in the next generations of youth Filipinos, let us at least recognize all of his deeds as a payment for all of It at least we honor him with all our heart and soul.
The Teachings of Jose Rizal Has Great Relevance To The Filipino People Especially The Youth in Order To Rededicate Their Lives To The Ideal of Freedom and Nationalism
