Tirad Pass: The Story of Gen. Gregorio del Pilar (1996)
A Film about a man who defied a Superpower
Gregorio Del Pilar was a man whose skill and strength can be compared to Alexander the Great and Edward the Black Prince. He was only in his early twenties when he took part in the Filipino Revolution.He defeated the Spanish in a number of battles and was promoted many times because of this.He loved his country so much that he was willing to give his life for it.He was still young those time. And when the Americans invaded,he defiantly fought them,despite the fact that they are invincible.He killed on of their high-ranking officers in a famous battle.But his last stand was Tirad Pass,also called the Philippine Thermopolae.In that place,he fought bravely,but in the end he died.This movie portrays it clearly his brave deeds,and it is an honor to watch it.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
No one could really understand the epic majesty of this film.
I am a fan of Tolkien and his works,and I am a fantasy writer myself. I started reading the books after watching the trilogy,FOTR was excellent and adventurous,TTT was full of action,and ROTK the final installment was a combination of the two and a glimpse of Braveheart. ROTK captured Tolkien's imagination,the city of Minas Tirith is it is as it was,the battles were majestic and medieval,the story is and soundtrack kept my heart pounding.
This film inspired me,this film is filled with wonder and awe,it is the best fantasy film of the 21st century and will be remembered as one. I hope that there will be film versions of the Silmarillion soon and other prequels of LOTR.
