father forgive me for i have been a bad gi--
edit: okay all jokes aside i was NOT expecting this kind of production from jescom. had a screening at my university and MAN was i blown away.
padre burgos' garote scene was heart-wrenching, the way you could see the contours of his face as he grasps his last few breaths. mmff renaissance indeed.
putting on my polsci and histo hat on for this one, but i am incredibly grateful for the existence of this film. it made me realize there truly are so many gaps in the mainstream historical narrative for revolutionaries apart from rizal. may this film inspire future generations to realize their own agency within the state they dwell in.
p.s. in the talkback after this was screened in my uni, fr. rene (this film's historical consultant) echoed my desire to have a historical film about the women's side of the revolution. women of malolos movie when!!!
