    1. What are the issues presented in the film?

     Historical revisionism: explores the controversy surrounding Jose Rizal’s


    true identity and deeds, challenging the myths and legends surrounding
    his life and accomplishments.
     Hero worship and mythmaking: explores the obsession with idolizing and
    mythologizing historical figures, especially national heroes, and asks
    questions about the truthfulness and veracity of historical narratives.
     Cultural identity: examines the complexity of Filipino identity and the
    difficulties of reconciling historical stories with contemporary reality.
     Colonial mentality: examines the long-lasting impact of colonial mentality
    on Philippine society and how it shapes the way we view history and
    national heroes.
    2. With the issues presented in the film, does it diminish or decrease the heroism of
    Rizal, causing doubt as to the idea of Rizal being a national symbol?

     While “Bayaning 3rd World” does raise questions and doubts about the
    traditional depiction of Jose Rizal as a national hero, it doesn’t necessarily
    diminish his heroism entirely. Instead, it encourages viewers to critically
    examine historical narratives and reassess the complexities of Rizal’s
    character and contributions.

     The film prompts audiences to reconsider the notion of heroism and the
    construction of national symbols, suggesting that blind hero worship and
    mythmaking can obscure the nuanced reality of historical figures. By
    engaging in a dialogue about the multiple perspectives and interpretations
    of Rizal’s life and legacy, the film encourages a more nuanced and critical
    understanding of Philippine history and identity.

    3. What is the moral lesson of the film?

     The moral of the film revolves around critical thinking, challenging


    authority, and challenging the prevailing narratives. It emphasizes the idea
    that the truth of history is often subjective and shaped by personal
    prejudices, political ideologies, and cultural influences. By challenging the
    audience to approach history with skepticism and an open mind, the film
    encourages intellectual curiosity and a greater understanding of the
    intricacies of Filipino history and identity.
