This was just meant to be a commemorative watch for the EDSA Revolution Anniversary.
But Brocka's political Filipino worker tragedy packs a punch. The way it explores the age-old question of "bayan o sarili?," resonates still and, in many ways, still as thought-provoking then as it is now.
Not to mention the cohesive direction, soundtrack, and solid performances that wrap it all up nicely.
Plus, some awesome shots in the final 10 minutes and impactful goosebumps-inducing end scene.
(Brocka really knows how to use fourth-wall breaks.)
