Reaction Paper: “Perfect Hero for an Imperfect Society” by Michael Xiao Chua”
I did not know that there was another film about Jose Rizal in 1990s, the National Centennial
Commission partnered with GMA films to create a film on Rizal with Aga Muhlach that directed by
De Leon and del Mundo. Because I only knew about the Jose Rizal the Movie that directed with
Marilou Diaz Abaya was with Cesar Montano in the lead role. After I read the article about the
Perfect Hero for an Imperfect Society by Xiao Chua I surprised the both films came out with different
perspectives.
Yes, I agree that Rizal can be the perfect hero for an imperfect society for he transcended his
many issues to be able to contribute to nation building because he wanted to prove to the Spaniards
that we the Filipinos are also a great people deserving of freedom.
