Movie Review: The Guerrilla is a Poet

A biopic of a young Jose Ma. Sison, it weaves an intricate tale of an activist’s journey during the turbulent years of Martial Law, until his capture in the mountains and the dark, nine years of imprisonment that followed, leading to his birth as a poet. 


Ang Gerilya ay Isang Makata ay pelikula tungkol kay Jose Maria Sison, tagapagtatag ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas na ibinilanggo dahil sa kanyang pamumuno sa malawak na hanay ng mamamayan na nagbalikwas laban sa diktadurang Marcos.


The film is a good material for student on their history class to tackle the other side of our history in 1970’s  na hindi masyadong naikukwento sa atin. Documentary style yung ginawa sa film pero much more cinematic ang pagsasadula.  Over all malinis ang pagkakagawa ng pelikula, smooth flowing at naibahagi ng maayos ang buhay ni Jose Maria Sison. Mahusay din ang pagganap ni Karl Medina para siyang hindi umaarte very natural. Angeli Bayani is good as well along with the other supporting casts. Tumawid naman sa akin kwento ng pelikula at naramdaman ko ang environment sa kabundukan ng mga NPA. A good film to watch to for us to learn our own history.




My Verdict:  3/5
