Im not really a fan of filipino movies but this movie struck me, it portrays the kind of filipinos we have today. Heneral Luna was indeed, a hero. But the others thought he was too bossy or overly protective of the Philippines, rather. I wasn't interested with the Philippines in any way, honestly, but watching this movie moved me. The actors portrayed their roles perfectly, the showed impressive acting skills. The movie makes everyone want to watch, and learn at the same time because nowadays people watch drama movies that do not make sense. more like, "corny" movies are being made in our society today. But with the rise of Heneral Luna, everyone was able to learn and watch what really happened in our history, and thats something to be proud of because it became an awakening to the Filipinos, that the true enemy is ourselves if we do not know how to be unified.Whatever we do there's always something wrong, things wont always go the way we want it, Heneral Luna was indeed, an inspiration to us all. He was an arrogant man, but in the right way. Like I said, only a few people want to learn our history because it isn't so interesting at all, almost everyone knew Heneral Luna, but no one ever knew what he did for our country, this movie is so beautiful because we got a glimpse of what happened back then,
what we were all fighting for. that's the beauty of this movie, I actually watched this movie twice in the cinemas, first in mall of asia and the other was in greenbelt 3. It is a must watch because not only will you appreciate the beauty of history, you'll also learn so much more than you ever had a chance in our philippine history classes back in highschool. My mom and I don't watch tagalog movies or shows because she said it was too corny and I wouldn't learn anything, Heneral Luna was an exception though. I applaud the director for a job well done. He definitely brought the filipino spirit back.
