Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Australian Made-for-TV Movie released in 1988, about an American journalist named Tony O'Neil (played by Gary Busey) who flies to Manila and covers the last years of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship, beginning with the assassination of opposition leader Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr, and concluding in the People Power Revolution of 1986, which overthrew the Marcos dictatorship. Originally released as a six-part miniseries.While it features Filipino actors, some of the scenes were shot in Sri Lanka and Australia. Worth noting that the Philippines itself has yet to make its own movies about these events because they are still too recent to many—most of the major political players involved are still alive and in positions of power and/or influence. | |

Affably Evil | |
| A Dangerous Life / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Imelda Marcos. Though the more-than-usually melodramatic way she's portrayed here by Tessie Tomas (and the real Imelda is no slouch at melodrama herself—not to mention Filipinos being very melodramatic people to begin with) makes her seem to toe the line between this and Faux Affably Evil. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
| A Dangerous Life / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black-and-White Morality: Or Red and Yellow moralitynote Red being the Marcoses' political colour, Yellow being Cory Aquino's, though neither of the chosen colours have much to do with actual political alignments—see Colour-Coded for Your Convenience below. The Aquinos' side are portrayed as near-perfectly good against the Marcoses who are near-perfectly evil, even if in Real Life things were never that simple. Although the movie came out barely two years after the real People Power Revolution, so it's understandable why most people—both in the Philippines and abroad—were still uncritically euphoric over the Revolution's success. Most of the problems that would later plague Cory's rule—and by extension the rest of the post-1986 political order—largely due to the potent lingering effects of Marcos's rule, had yet to become apparent. | |
