3rd World Hero

Bayaning 3rd Word (1999) Short Review

Cinematography by Ding Achacoso
It was back on the days where Cinema in the Philippines had a more broad and border less idea of making movies rather than sticking on what is trend, Mike De Leon along with Clodualdo Del Mundo jr. creates a very imaginative and unique approach doing an unorthodox way of making a biopic about one of the most iconic person in Philippines, Jose Rizal.  There are a lot of attempt making Jose Rizal that talks about his story, from Documentaries to actual feature films (most notable was Marilou Diaz-Abaya's 1999 Jose Rizal) and Mike De Leon's Third World Hero is one of the most different among the others.
