' The movie also gave me ideas of the old lifestyle in the !hilippines in those times. (&ilipinos were greatly in)uenced by "panish culture and lifestyle and it is observable in the movie on how they dress and their )uency in speaking "panish language. * think +esar ,ontano also gave %ustice %ustice in portraying portraying our !hilippine $ational  -ero.  know that it was a challenge for him because he had to know to speak "panish language for the scenes in the movie but  think he was perfect for the role. /0ther than +esar ,ontano great actors like oel Torre  aime &abregas &abregas and !en !en ,edina also portrayed their characters very well. well. 1  The life and works of ose Rizal is essential essential for me to know as a &ilipino &ilipino student because it is how it started to mold our &ilipino nationality that is clearly portrayed in the movie.
