Mabuhay ang Pilipinas , after watch Jose Rizal the Movie, these are the course that precious to find its way out into my mouth. Words that requiremented to travel beyond distance and beyond boundaries that would defy ages to finally find a remindful voice that sent cosmosquake to the stoned floor of the holy synagogue of God that sheltered fiends who clothed themselves in white and who spoke His words with fluency only if undoubtedly knew zipper of His language. I could not show it better, as a realization hit me, only when I look up to my Motherland.I could not help scarce think how did she, after everything that was through with(p) to her, have found it in her heart to forgive? The film did not only depict the life of Jose Rizal during the gripping of the Spaniards crusade hands but to a fault the Filipinos during those darkest times forwards the crack of dawn. The movie did not also just settled for only Rizal and the Filipino people during the Spanish colonization, but it do a sort of movie adaptation of the two luminary masterpieces of Rizal the Noli Me Tangere and the El Filibusterismo.The movie itself was faithful to accuracy that you could empathize what it wants people to see and that is to see. The movie suggested us to see what had really happened to our mother country. It is to see what she had been through to elapse her standing(a) in her place in the map of the world. It is to see how many a(prenominal) times our country had lost her identity element, her dignity, her liberty, her voice, her rights, and her name. It is to see how many lives she had to remorsefully leave just to keep standing. Watching the movie, I saw her. She took all nuisance and suffering and given up almost everything she has because she loves her children.She love the Filipinos that she kept standing and resisted the embrace of the god of the sea for us to have our feet on macrocosm to land on. Realizing all she had borne made me proud to be molded fr om the earth of the Land of the Morning. Jose Rizal the Movie made it crystal cleared to everyone who would watch it how the Filipino people loved our country that they had given up their lives to free her from her iron cage. The movie showed that during the time of Rizal, Filipinos had started stirring from their seemed to be forever slumbering, although the Spaniards oppression continue to darken the skies.During those times, as portrayed, there was social unrest that resulted revolts. Most tumid movements were initiated by the Katipuneros led by Andres Bonifacio. A lot of primordial eye had started to see the real faces inside the holy veil worn by the Spaniards that led them to the realization of their own scraped image. Spaniards had continued to use religion, specifically the teachings of the Catholic Church and the words of God to frightened majority of the Filipinos to conform and see them. The film portrayed the Spaniards abuse of power and authority over the Filipinos.F riars shrouded their subversion in the cloak of church contributions and tributes. They collected high imposed taxes from the farmers who manger their own soil. They acquired lands by authority and force. Worst of it, Spaniards did not content themselves in getting hold of our country but also our dignity. Filipinos had been treated unfairly. The Spaniards made sure that we had no equal human rights, no parity before the law, no seat for the government, no mercy from the church, and no place for morality. Filipinos became slaves.Our native women were victimized. There was racial discrimination. Only elites were granted to have a established education and even in school, Filipinos were slandered, mocked and belittled. Even the arbiter system was in favor of the State. Filipinos who have committed crime in the eyes of their justice were subjected to persecution and wipeout. Spaniards would then scheme any person who go against their regime that would admit the conspiracy they ha d done to Rizal as he was sentenced by prejudiced to death before his trial was even performed.They stripped our nations identity and clothed us in ballooned dresses to conform but even so denied our right-I believe-to baptize our country a name. Those lowest times, people who had finally comprehend the truth tried to raise their voices but mostly failed to do so because there was no firmed foundation. Their flares were not enough. When Rizal gave light, flickers were rekindled to a raging fire. Jose Rizal became their source of ability though he did not purposely want to ignite insurgency. though his writings were double edged sword, he wanted to address his draw in for freedom and equality in a diplomatic manner.Unfortunately, it did not go as planned because not only the Spaniards wanted to bind him for the hustle he had cause to the name of the Spanish government. I really care the portrayal of those people close to Rizal after he was shot and had travel on the ground none of them even shed a tear. They held their ground, Rizal was not a traitor. They were the ones who held his pride when he was deprived to die with dignity. He doesnt deserve a cry of sympathy because he had done nothing but to love and to be faithful to his country. Because he was not marry to a woman he was married to our country, faithfully.Watching that scene, I tangle dignified. He was not a traitor and so were those lives that fought to free our country. They were Filipinos who sought after to regain our freedom and identity from the Spaniards. As the movie concluded, I recognize I have never been so proud of my country, and never did I really give proper acknowledgement to the many lives that, especially those unsung faces that did not have the chance to have a space in paper. Give credit to who is due, as the saying goes. All of us, we crack in different paths of life.We see strangers every day but I never really consider looking at their faces in a different way. After watching the film, I learned to see the faces of past tense through the faces of the present. We are all carrying fragments of souls of the people of the past. How we are giving get to those fragments of souls is the real challenge in us. I have learned from watching the film how embarrassing we have become to cater these fragments in us because we failed and ignored to recognize them and the way we savor the liberty they struggled to regain but tragically did not had the chance to hold.These souls had once fought for freedom. We have to see them in us to fix how we abused our freedom. I still see our motherland in her situation back then because we failed to get the lessons from our past. How many more(prenominal) times does she have to be in same situation she impression she had been freed from? One lesson I clearly got from the movie, we have to carry the past in us like it is our own experience for us to never want to be in that situation again. We should never forget our o wn write up and the importance of it, for the sake of those souls who only had the chance to experience true freedom in us.
