Heneral Luna: Directed by Jerrold Tarog. With John Arcilla, Arron Villaflor, Mon Confiado, Bing Pimentel. Set during the Philippine-American war, a short-tempered Filipino general faces an enemy more formidable than the American army: his own treacherous countrymen.

“Set in the war between Americans and Filipinos. The Americans are invading the Philippines until the Filipinos give up, this includes killing the lives of the innocent. The Philippine Government are conducting a plan while many want to negotiate for better profit. General Luna is there to stop the greed and focus and prioritize the state of the nation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGeneral Antonio Luna is infamous, mad, unafraid, furious and above all cares for his family, fellow-soldiers and country men. He will stop at nothing until he accomplish his mission of giving freedom to his country. He disciplines and trains the soldiers into making them independent and not some slackers or cowards within the war. He removes all the corrupted he can find. Inspiration is key and thatu0026#39;s what he wants to show to all his soldiers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the end, the face of the real enemy is revealed. Itu0026#39;s one of his own. Savagely killed by his own country-men. Showing No Mercy to a man who only wants whatu0026#39;s better for the whole country.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love the exposure shown to what the message was. It had many symbolisms and morals one might enjoy learning. John Arcilla really turns into the character heu0026#39;s portraying, he even looks like him. The effects use was really brutal, the sound was pretty great to and the cinematography had very beautiful shots and lightning in some scenes. The comedy present was a nice addition to the film and making it more entertaining to watch. The direction by Jerrold Tarog shines on how careful the actors give their performances. The script is rich with very detailed and fun lines of entertainment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI will say that this film is not propaganda, itu0026#39;s not bragging of which country is better, itu0026#39;s does not promote blind nationalism. Itu0026#39;s more on whatu0026#39;s present and understandable with the value of claiming responsibility. It does not send you the message of u0026quot;This film makes me shameful and filling me guilt you into liking it.u0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s better if you understand your reflections.”
