OK, I don't want to be biased here, the film was just OK. It was not excellent nor was it bad. It was just OK. I like the script thou, especially the joke part and the cursings. I feel like i'm watching Inglorious Basterds, the way they killed him in the last part of the movie, he was like this "masamang damo, mahirap mamatay" "Bad weed, hard to kill" (forgive my translation) kind of scene. It was gruesome and a little too much. The part when he travels to a lot of places was also confusing, he arrives just too fast. My favorite scene was the first battle scene, where he charge with his horse right straight to the enemy. The part when he was about to shoot his head, because he thought it was already the end, and unknowingly made his fellow filipino soldiers rallied with him in the battle field revive with courage because of his acts of chivalry and great example for fighting for inang bayan (mother land). I was really touch by that scene and was just holding back to clap so as not to annoy my seatmate in the cinema.
The close your eyes scene was also nice, the composites of the scenes in interchanging events, technically perfectly executed. The special effects and the sound effects was also good. I would not make this long, the film in general promotes the idea of sticking up with your principles, that is, it should not be biased, conditional and incorruptible. To Mr J Tarog, the cast and the writers of the movie, hats off, its my first time to watch a movie where after the credit part/end part people were clapping there hands. Certainly they were touched in sorts of ways to react like that. I think that is the essence of making a film, that after watching it, a little mark is left behind could be an idea of sorts good or bad, it doesn't matter. Certainly it did mark for me, especially Artikulo Uno!
