Trivia

Cesar Montano agreed to scale down his talent fee (reported to be 5 million pesos per movie). He also cancelled everything else on his schedule to concentrate on training for his role. His tutorials involved languages (Rizal spoke Spanish, French, German and Latin), fencing, painting, drawing, sculpture, and other skills that the national hero excelled in. See more »

Wow
16 August 1999 | by (California) – See all my reviews

wow...this is the reaction I felt after watching this movie documenting the life of Jose Rizal. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when watching certain parts. I'd recommend anybody to see this movie, but I think filipinos should see it too, as the movie is a perfect blend of the Philippine national hero's life and his two books, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibustrismo, and will leave you feeling this sense of pride in your country.
