GOMBURZA (2023) - MMFF REVIEW
“Vivan Los Filipinos. Mabuhay ang mga Filipino.”
This film is the story of the three martyr priests. Three Filipinos who were part of the native community who were once under Spanish colonial rule and oppression. If you have been updated, or have been listening in your elementary Philippine history classes, it’s GOMBURZA, not MAJOHA.
Despite it being produced by Jesuit Communications, the film was able to execute (No pun intended) a factual depiction on a turning point of Philippine history without overused emphasis of religion. It was able to capture how the Catholic faith was used as an instrument of oppression during the Spanish colonial period (This was especially ironic considering how return of the religious orders, including the Jesuits, were the reason for the silencing of the secularization movement). What also impressed me is that almost every single detail in the movie, even in the dialogue, came from actual events in history. It is evident that enough research was made to make this film as accurate as possible.
The film’s cinematography was able to capture life during the period whether it was amongst the Filipino liberals, the Spanish priests, the Governor-Generals, or even the three main characters in our story. With every other scenes of the film shifting from light to dark atmospheres, this symbolized the reality of Spanish colonization — warmth, acceptance, and friendship amongst fellow Filipinos; and ruthlessness, inhumanity, and oppression from the Spaniards (and even traitors). Adding emphasis to GomBurZa’s (2023) cinematography is its sound design. Just by feeling the cinema floor rumbling and the deeply-voiced voiceover in the film’s ending segment, this film can come to a point where it deserves its own IMAX screening.
Dante Rivero and Cedrick Juan showcase over-the-top stellar performances as Padre Mariano Gomez (played by Rivero) and Padre Jose Burgos (played by Juan). Both actors have embodied their roles, not only due to the fact that they, especially Juan, share a slight resemblance with the real life Mariano Gomez and Jose Burgos. It is also because that they were able to portray their emotions from having a friendly conversation, to later condemning their unfair arrest, trial, and death.
Pepe Diokno's time and effort in conducting research and including every important detail in the production is evident in the whole film itself, as it was not only ACTUALLY based on true events, but was able to evoke emotion and outrage, just like how the Filipinos of the 1870s did at the time.
With all of this said, GomBurZa (2023) is not only a history lesson, but also an immersion into the Spanish colonial rule and the lives of the three priests. Being a history nerd and a cinephile who has since learned the names of the three martyr priests as a little girl in elementary, I can definitely say that this was one of the only film experiences where I had witnessed the breaking of the fourth wall. The whole time I was in the cinema, it felt like I was part of their conversation, like I was a witness to their lives and execution.
What also added to this experience was that I watched the film on Rizal Day, and what better way to commemorate our national hero's contribution to Philippine independence than to learn about where it all started? Like what I always preached to my family:
Without GomBurZa, there will be no Jose Rizal. Without Jose Rizal, there would be no Andres Bonifacio. Without all of them, the Philippines and the Filipino would not exist.
GomBurZa (2023) is a cathartic experience that is definitely for the family. This film is a testament to the importance of appreciating and learning our history. Hopefully it serves as a reminder of our collective past, national identity, and the importance of our freedom.

Whenever Aguinaldo forgets something about the constitution and its rules, he asks Mabini about it then suddenly vents himself to why he is the president to Mabini.

HAHWHAHA
"We are mabinaldo shippers,of course we read angst stories"
Short definition of my Bayani Dads,
Apolinario Mabini - Asshole (affectionate)
Emilio Aguinaldo - Asshole (derogatory)
i wanted emilio aguinaldo slander but.. slay
anong "mabinaldo doomed old man yaoi" kayo diyan hoooyyyy they were in their 30s ya'll that's what's tragic about them they were so YOUNG and they had a whole COUNTRY on their shoulders and they were both blinded by so much ambition and the whole WORLD was against them do you understand????? do you get it????????? this story is not about two old men vying for power. this story is about two boys who have known nothing but pain and struggle and war and colonialism and oppression, growing up and finding themselves turning into the very things they were fighting against!!!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND????? DO YOU GET IT????????
they're not doomed old men yaoi-- gets ko na mga baby pa kayo, pero guys, 29 and 34 is NOT old. that's the BEGINNING!!!! they failed at the BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!
Hi, just reminding you that these ship couple exist askgasjkd Anniversary ng HenLuna Premiere noong September 9 lang naman. Just reminder agdjhagsdasd Mabinaldo parin kakalampag in 2024 >:]
Kalampag sa ating barkong dumaong sa Manila de Bay mula Calabarzon na matagal nang lumubog, mga isang daang taon lang namang nakalilipas, pero sumasaksak parin sa ating mga puso sa pamamagitan ng paalala ng artikulo uno.
tom "rpf is fine" hanks doesn't even hold a candle to nicanor "I am going to write a musical about apolinario mabini and his stint as emilio aguinaldo's right hand man during the philippine american war wherein i will deliberately cast a woman as mabini for every production to further drive home how marital the relationship between mabini and aguinaldo became the further the country descended into war, and how their eventual falling out was pretty much a divorce-- no really, watch the musical, the whole song is just one long break up song" tiongson
ya'll don't even KNOW
