Ang Hapis at Himagsik ni Hermano Puli (The
Agony and Fury of Hermano Puli) is a historical drama based on the life
and times of Apolinario de la Cruz, who led a revolt in 1841 against the
Spanish colonial government in the Philippines in the name of religious
freedom.
The film shines a light on his place in Philippine history, which is
largely forgotten outside of his hometown of Lucban and the province of
Quezon (formerly Tayabas).
The
redeeming factor of the film is its production value that benefits a
lot from good cinematography and production design. This film let us know
and remind the story of one of the significant person who led
the retaliation to the
racism of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines during the
Spanish colonial period. Aljur Abrenica's acting improved in this film
and was supported by good bunch of new breed of actors including his
brother Vin Abrenica, Enzo Pineda and Marki Stroem. So if you want to
take a look back on one of the story of our historical epic you may
consider watching this.
My Verdict: 3/5
