2. Did the movie inspire you? Why or why not? It inspired me to become a better Filipino. Rizals life was full of love and sacrifice for his country. He offered his life for his countrymen, which every Filipino should do as well. We must respect our heroes and our country, for a lot of our early Filipino brothers and sisters offered their life for our freedom today. Though a movie full of failure, sadness, loneliness and cruelty may not be very inspirational if you think about it, but Rizals life is an exception for it was love that was stretched all throughout the movie. 3. If you were given a chance to revise the script, give a one page suggestion or revision of the movie, Rizal. If I was given a chance to revise the movie, I would decide to start the movie from when Rizal was a child. This part of his life was when he started to show great intellect; writing poems and short stories for his siblings and classmates. I would also want to show Rizals life whe n he was in school, so that the audience would know why Rizal wanted reformation for the Filipinos. It was a bit difficult to catch-up when the movie kept on jumping from one event to another, and it was harder when a scene from the past was added between two scenes from the present. It would have been better if the movie was made in the correct sequence of Rizals life, starting from his childhood until his execution. It would have affected the audience more, and they would understand Rizals mission as well. And since it is Rizals life, it would be better to include stories from his love life, especially his relationship with Leonor Rivera because she had a great influence in Rizals life.
