Rizal contemplated changing his name to Doctor Uliman to evade Spanish surveillance as he planned to travel to Spain. It was a disguise intended to hide his identity and intentions from the colonial authorities. Ultimately, Rizal did not go through with the name change.

What is the summary of Jose Rizal Movie in 1998?

Jose Rizal Movie (2008) Main Cast: Cesar Montano The film starts with Dr. Jose Rizal (Cesar Montano) in Ghent, Belgium, supposedly writing his second novel, El Filibusterismo. As the narration during the opening minutes continued, scenes that illustrate Rizal's first novel, "Noli Me Tanger" was shown and Crisostomo Ibarra and his alter ego, Simoun, (Joel Torre) was introduced. This stood more as a second story of the movie as the said scenes progress throughout the movie as Rizal's thoughts. As the two novels spread throughout the Philippines, a certain and somewhat unassuming character in the name of Andres Bonifacio grabs a hold of a copy of a Rizal novel and instigates a rebellion with his founded Katipunan which upheld a full-blown revolution. Archbishop Bernardo Nozaleda (Peque Gallaga) takes notice of this, claiming that Rizal gave the primary incentive in the revolution and warns Governor-general Blanco (Bon Vibar) that if he does not take care of Rizal and the growing conflict, he will be replaced. As the hunt for Rizal continues, the Spaniards get a hold of his older brother, Paciano Rizal (Pen Medina) and tortures him to get to Rizal. Paciano does not give any information on whether Rizal was the source of rebellion or not and was continued to be tortured, only to find out that he was already captured by the Spaniards later on. Paciano was eventually released and left their home together with his father, Francisco Mercado. Rizal is then seen being escorted by the Spanish guards to be interrogated by a colonel who is convinced that Rizal is a traitor since his latest novel was dedicated to Father Gomez, Burgos and Zamora. Father Gomez, Father Burgos and Father Zamora were then seen being executed by garrote for treason. This was witnessed by the young Paciano (Ping Medina), who was also a close friend of the three priests. This ultimately raised Paciano's political awareness as he influences his 11 year-old brother. Rizal was then enrolled in a local school wherein he had a hard time as he was disliked by his teacher and was bullied. As he continued in his studies, his mother and former teacher, Teodora Alonzo, was wrongly accused and arrested for poisoning her sister. He then moved to a new school in Ateneo Municipal de Manila where he officially used the name Rizal and excelled. Rizal ,at the time he was in prison continued tell his tale to a prisoner servant (Jhong Hilario), who enamored with the wisdom of Rizal. Rizal then met his defense counsel, Luis Taviel de Andrade (Jaime Fabregas) who despised the fact that he was chosen by prisoner. Rizal continues to contemplate on his past during his session with Taviel, including his education in University of Santo Tomas where he and other Filipinos had a scuffle with the Spanish students. His moments with Leonora Rivera (Mickey Ferriols), his first love and cousin, was also in the picture. He was then sent to Europe to focus more on studying medicine as requested by his brother. He studied in Unibersidad Central de Madrid, where near by, an up-rise against the bishops is on going due to a wrongly accused professor. There in Madrid, he met his other countrymen who also desired freedom from the Spanish Rule and created a reform movement with him, Marcelo Del Pilar and Ponce as its leaders. The movement saw promise at first, but a conflict between Del Pilar and Rizal regarding La Solidaridad and lack of unity within the group subsequently made Rizal leave Madrid and go back to Philippines. As soon as he gets home, he immediately formed La Liga Filipina which was quickly abolished. With this his status as the enemy of the state was reinforced and Rizal was sent to Dapitan where he underwent depression but met his last lover, Josephine Bracken. Though far away, Archbishop Nozaleda was still unimpressed with this and with Blanco. Governor Blanco then instead sent Rizal to prison after making him believe he can work in Cuba as doctor. Nozaleda, who wants Rizal dead, replaced Blanco with Polavieja (Tony Mabesa). During Christmas, Rizal spent his holiday with Taviel who brought liquor and was gradually befriended by Rizal. But as the day passes, Taviel continued his counseling with Rizal wherein his El Filibusterismo and his credibility was questioned. Taviel, who was already convinced that defendant was not the instigator, claimed that Rizal failed with both his novels and that he his writings could possibly be forgotten. At the day of the trial, a flashback of Rizal being visited by Pio Valenzuela in Dapitan to convince him of his approval of the revolution and to join them was seen. Taviel states to the judges that of Rizal's innocence, the lack of evidence also Rizal's disapproval of the Katipunan. Rizal also defended himself but his and Taviel's efforts were all for naught as Nozaleda forced Polavieja to make Rizal's execution final. Taviel, learning of fixed trial, was infuriated and stated that he was ashamed of Rizal because "he was a Spaniard". Set to die on December 30, Rizal still had time to bid his mother and sisters goodbye. He asked his mother to take his body, bury it, put a cross on the grave with his date of birth and death, nothing more. To his sister Trinidad who can speak English, Rizal gave her a lamp with "something inside it". In Rizal's last night in his cell, he looks at his desk with and paper and his pen on it. With nothing to write for his final piece, he is confronted by his own imagination and conscience in the form of Simoun. After a momentary breakdown, Rizal writes his final piece, Mi Ultimo Adios. Rizal's impending execution was imminent and with a last conversation with Taviel, he marched to Bagumbayan. He was denied by the squad leader into facing the rifles but promised to spare his head. As the soldiers slowly aim at Rizal's back, the novelist smiles and spoke his last words in Latin, "It is done". With this, Rizal is finally shot, followed by another shot as an act of coup de grace from the squad leader. As the movie closes, the Katipunan finally shows its potential in toppling the regime, infiltrating churches that are symbols of power in the country.


What are the misconception in the life of Rizal?

Maraming humahanga sa pagkabayani ni Jose Rizal. Ngunit Hindi lahaty ay sumasangayon sa kanyang pagkahirang bilang pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas. Ang naging basehan ng mga protesta ng mga taong tumututol sa paghirang kay Rizal ay ang mga Hindi tuwid niyang mga gawain partikular na ang pangbababae. Narito ang isang pahayag ni Antonio Alonzo ukol sa mga miskonsepsyon kay Rizal. Nagmula ito sa sulating "Rizal, the Armed Rebel" na lumabas ng taong 1999. ************************************************************************************************************ It has now become fashionable for anyone, to show-off their knowledge of Philippine history as non-conventional by declaring the Philippine National Hero as a PACIFIST or REFORMER. This then is immediately followed by, "….the national hero should have been Andres Bonifacio….". Arguments like it was the Americans(William Howard Taft, the governor of the American Colonial government of the Philippines) who selected him to be a national hero as the "SAFE" selection. More, Rizal's own sentiments (as accused by an American writer)show Rizal believed that only a reform from above is feasible in the Philippines. Other writings went even as far as condemning Dr. Rizal for not joining the Katipunan thus shows total ignorance of the events leading to the Philippine revolution. At the outset, it seems this "radical" thought is truly from "enlightened" minds. But further research shows Dr. Jose Rizal was truly, without a doubt the Philippine National Hero. The reason for the revolution, the reason why our forefathers (and mothers)took up arms and risked their lives and the reason the Philippines won independence from Spain. But FACTS are: Dr. Jose Rizal was NOT AGAINST a Bloody revolution. He was against an unprepared rebellion that may cost unnecessary lives. Although, being a learned man, this road may seem remote from his usual petit bourgeois lifestyle, his only concern was only for his fellow countrymen. This is much more so understood as he had relatives, even his youngest sister Josefa and a sister in law and his eldest brother, Paciano who eventually led the same rebels against the Spaniards and the Americans, as members of the Katipunan. His concern was much more about the success of a Bloody revolution and quick expulsion of the Spanish friars. He abhors needless sufferings by being unprepared and advised Andres Bonifacio to buy ships and arms and gather more funds (sources of fundings came from Dr. Rizal himself and this tactic was followed religiously by Bonifacio) before plunging the whole country to rebellion. One must understand that Andres Bonifacio, the founder of the Katipunan, was a member of Dr. Jose Rizal's "La Liga Filipina". And it was only when Dr. Rizal was arrested that Bonifacio became dissolutioned and that he decided for himself that truly peaceful means will not work and organized the Katipunan, the day after Dr. Rizal's arrest for an armed resistance. Bonifacio sought advice from Dr. Jose Rizal routinely and those that condemn Dr. Rizal for not "joining" the Katipunan is really amiss at best. It is worth nothing that the codes and structure of Katipunan is patterned after Freemasonry. Bonifacio is not a mason, much less had any idea of how this "secret" society is structured. Dr. Jose Rizal is a Freemason and had been ex-communicated by the Friars for being so. More, it is interesting that Dr. Jose Rizal's sentiments in his early writings are clearly reflected in the Code of the Katipunan. It is hard to imagine that a man who would devote so much time, effort and detail in his second novel, "El Filibusterismo", the conceptualization, the feasibilty, the planning and the execution of Philippine Revolution to be totally against it. And he skillfully lit the fire and fury in his readers' heart by ending the novel with an ending that nobody wants. an ending , that gives up! It is such a strong 'CALL FOR ACTION' that anybody who misses that is missing a lot more than Dr. Rizal's desire of Freedom. Just because Dr. Rizal was not a member of the Katipunan does not necessarily mean he had nothing to do with it or influence in it the least bit. We must remember, that during the VERY FIRST CELEBRATION of PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY on June 12, 1899 at RITZ THEATER in BUSTILLOS, SAMPALOC MANILA, all the Generals, and heroes who where still alive where all there proclaiming Dr. Jose Rizal as the "NATIONAL HERO. Yes, it was years before the Americans declared him as such. It must be remembered that Rizal's founding of the Liga Filipina was the prime catalyst for the mobilization of the Katipunan led by Andres Bonifacio and other separatists (note that Mabini was present when Rizal initiated the Liga). And Antonio Luna, the brilliant general of Aguinaldo's army of the first Philippine Republic, was already in contact with Rizal in Europe when Rizal was an active collaborator of Marcelo del Pilar and Graciano Lopez Jaena in La Solidaridad. First Luna in 1884: "Assimilating his ideas, pondering his concepts that readily aroused our enthusiasm, we found an echo, though timid, of his voice within ourselves." And Mabini in 1899: "While we Filipinos living today do not individually amount to as much as Rizal, yet we can join together to get the force necessary to the realization of the work begun by him." I second Luna's multiplication of Rizal's voice and Mabini's motion of unifying and mobilizing our forces for national-democratic self-determination.* (*last paragraph from E. San Juan Jr., Rizal in Our Times, Anvil Publications, 1997)
