Tbh, watching this film changed something in me. For the first time, a Philippine figure didn't feel like a homework assignment. He was smart, brave, soft-spoken, and firm in his beliefs. I finally understand why people respect him sm. He simply wanted freedom, equality, and education for everyone, and he stood by that even when it cost him everything.
It made me proud in a way I wasn't expecting. Like… this is our history? For ONCE, a Philippine historical figure truly touched me.
One of the main messages of the film to me is that changes are not always the result of violent actions. In some cases, changes come from words, education, and the act of not keeping silent. I was proud to see Rizal fighting for justice and freedom, but at the same time I was sad — a lot of people gave up so much during the fight for our independence, and now it seems like corrupt politicians are just going back over the path that was taken. The difference between his courage and our current difficulties makes his message even stronger, reminding us that fighting for what is right is not just a thing of the past, BUT it is something that we have to do every day.
