"Liway"

You could think a story like "Liway" is absurdly unbelievable. If a child is born in a prison, is allowed to
remain there, and is never allowed to leave that prison, that child will never be able to experience life outside
of that prison. The narrative is meant to be dramatic and intense. But regrettably, "Liway" is based on a true
story and is not a work of fiction. A distressing reminder of the wrongs committed in our nation decades ago. A
time that must never be forgotten or excused. And "Liway" was among the most powerful ways to convey
these sins. Day, a young mother, is incarcerated alongside her husband and son Dakip. They have little chance
of escaping because they are rebels, so Day starts telling Dakip fairy tales to shield him from the injustices
going on around him. The youngster begins to doubt his mother's accounts when he catches a glimpse of the
world outside their gates. Day is compelled to share her true tale and explain why the picture-perfect life she
has been portraying to Dakip is untrue. Glaiza de Castro has a standout performance in "Liway" as
Commander Liway, a rebel commander, mother, and prisoner who battled to care for her kid while
imprisoned. Dominic Roco's performance as her husband fell flat, and we actually thought his persona to be
somewhat disinterested and uninterested. The biggest surprise of all, though, was the cast's youngest
member, Kenken Nuyad, who was instantly our favorite as the jovial, naive, and naive Dakip. The film's
strongest quality was its capacity to keep you interested as a viewer, and despite certain pacing issues, it still
managed to make an effect during its most dramatic parts. When Dakip confronts his mother's lies, the movie
turns out better than it did at the beginning. When Dakip confronts his mother's lies, the movie turns out
better than it did at the beginning. This movie took a subtly critical stance on the negative effects of martial
law. Violence was hardly ever depicted, with the exception of a shootout that had to be shown. Because part
of our characters' suffering was simply not understanding what had happened, being made to obey, or not
knowing when their time would come, the movie didn't need to depict torture. For those who continue to
doubt history and believe that mistreating others is just fine as long as they are okay, "Liway" is a must-watch.
