This made me weep last night  


It's a music video for our national anthem (which they show in movie houses + the sign on/off vid for the TV network that made this) and they recreated important events in our history. They got the network's actors to play the Filipino ~heroes~ (the actor who plays Gregorio del Pilar, apparently the most handsome of all Filipino heroes, looks so ~dashing~ -- he be the one in the horse...)

But yeah. I have ambivalent feelings for Filipino actors in general (but not the people on this video?), but this... I felt it's so epic and tears burned my eyes when the anthem started (or maybe because the juxtaposition of the epic band + the scene showing Jose Rizal being shot to death brings out the emotions. IDK)

I can't stop watching iiiiit
