Jing Ramos

Good but it lacks something. It however explains the shaping of a nation Los Filipinos, for the first time a piece of a movie sparing the friars over the Spanish Government. Maybe because it is a production of the SJs. Similar to the novels of JPR, the story portrays the different characters which still are present to our society or you may even find your own character in different scenarios, like the Liberal and Dictatorial leadership, the loyalty and betrayal, the powerful that always get rescued or pardon, the consequence of being a wanna bee or social climber. The different ways of acceptance of death. The victim of false Justice the helplessness against a powerful influence either you are educated, good or even decent. Amazingly the movie was able to put a distinct image or color to the ending lyrics of our national anthem “aming ligaya na pag May nang aapi ang mamatay ng dahil sayo”. Hopefully we have more historical meaningful movies.
