KUNG AKO ay tatanungin, sasabihin kong mas magaling umarte si ER Ejercito sa pelikulang lumabas last year sa MMFF. Lalo na ang nanalong best actor na si Dingdong Dantes.
ER is El Presidente in the movie where he starred Emilio Aguinaldo, supposedly the first President Republic of the Philippines. But let’s talk of his acting. Malalim but restrained. Sensitive and difinite of the mind.
Unfortunately, hindi naiintindihan ng karamihan ng nanonood. Hindi alam ng karamihan katulad na si Bonifacio—played and won as best supporting actor by Cesar Montano—who had their mind games in winning their selves and the war with the Spaniards. At si Pedro Paterno, who became the Prime Minister at their time and who have written about novels like Jose Rizal had also written, ay hindi rin nalalaman ng karamihan na siya ay traydor supposedly o masyado siyang balingbing kay Aguinaldo at Bonifacio.
Yul Servo ang gumanap kay Paterno. Sabi niya na maikli lang ang kanyang role. Pero sa papel n’ya ay isa rin sa magaling ng mga lalake sa pelikula. Ganon din si Cesar. High na high siya when he won the best actor.
Disappointed talaga si ER even he was a gentleman. Kung ako ang tatanungin, sasagutin ko na mag comedy na sya this year.
