Ang Simula at Wakas ay Kapatiran

AKO Batch '81 (1982)

Directed by Mike De Leon

This film is like one of the films i really look up to when i talk about movies. AKO Batch '81 is Mike De Leon's let's say masterpiece of it's time. It shows a fascist nature, getting a metaphorical representation of the  political administration during the 80's, Marcos Administration. I cannot believe myself that such local films like this existed, i was surprise on its nature, no wonder why Mike de leon is like one of the greatest Filipino film director out there.

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.
