Social Relevance of the film to our present society

The film entitled "Jose Rizal" gives me an idea of how spaniards treated the Filipinos during the old times.Our present Society would be nothing but a Province of spanish.And also,there wouldn't be Malacañang and REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. The way we speak would be like the spanish way if our heroes didn't protect our country from the invaders or conquerors. We, filipinos love to have our independence no matter what and whatever it takes, that they will sacrifice their own life for the independence of the Philippines and the people under its jurisdiction.

Historical significance of the film

For me,the historical significance of the film is that it may inspire the other Filipinos that we should never fear anything beside God.Because God controls everything.And with this the present and next generation will never be afraid to say "I'm a PILIPINO!".Like others say,"Past can affect the future".Imagine yourself sitting on a top of a tree,instead of hearing birds and the sound of the wind,you will hear;SCREAMS,BULLETS FIRING,BOMBINGS and PEOPLE and CHILDREN ASKING FOR HELP.Thanks to our heroes and to God,if there is NO HERO + NO GOD = NO PEACE.That film is really useful especially for the Filipinos who don't know what our heroes did just for our Justice,freedom and Democracy.
