On the outside I see him as tough, mysterious and unable to be broken. He is fearless in any conquest and will not back down to anyone. But when he goes dark side (his demons) and out of balance he can become a terrible tyrant, equally capable of using power for destruction and manipulation. I would see him if he is in the right people that surrounds him as a very capable General and able to accomplish anything. He has a very complex personality he is extremely powerful and capable but is also highly emotional. He is fierce and is not afraid to go after what he wants. I find Antonio Luna as powerful, passionate and resilient. The Choleric Filipino General Antonio Luna as what I have perceived from the movie has this notoriety of being a “hot-headed” individual but he is beyond than that. This film enables us to understand not just the life of Luna but also the historical context of his struggle and heroism. It stimulates a special kind of reflection we need in rethinking our own state of patriotism and sense of nationalism and nationhood.
HENERAL LUNA MOVIE PNG FULL
In this film, Antonio Luna is depicted as a real human being, full of virtues as well as faults. Unlike most films about heroes, this one manages to tell a compelling story about the brilliant and fiery general. If you can’t win the temptation of evil, then you can never be a worthy citizen of your country. I will choose sarili, because in order to be a productive and good citizen in your country, you need to be responsible and kind in the smallest possible way starting from yourself. If I were to choose between Bayan o Sarili. I also wonder why we always need to choose the temporary unsure safety than the permanent freedom of our own country. We don’t realize that killing our own Filipino brothers and sisters lead to the death of hope of the future. Second, we are selfish when it comes in protecting our country. First, we are not selfish because we always choose our family than ourselves. We aim for a simple yet happy life, but we expect someone to do it for us in the midst of another western invasion.Īfter watching the film, I think there are two faces of selfishness we have, as a Filipino in the film. That’s the main reason why we lost and will continue to do so. The worst part of it, we didn’t lose with the war but we lost within ourselves. I’m not even surprised when the Americans laugh at our own foolish acts. We can’t even group ourselves as one but we hope for a victory, so ironic. Starting from the never ending disagreements between the generals, down to the impassionate soldiers they have. While watching the film, the thing I absolutely noticed is about how our fellowmen react with the war for our freedom. This is the most impactful line that affected me. He’s a bit narrow minded as a high ranking general as he lets his temper affect the whole situation. This a sort of a good attitude but sometimes it can also become really bad. Luna does not listen to what the others think of. Antonio Luna’s perspectives become an unofficial scoring ground to question the qualifications of the candidates from what I saw in the internet, what I heard while commuting and what I also thought of. Now, as the 2016 presidential elections approaches, Gen.
The general also believes that no one is above the law even the highest ranking official or the president. He really holds superior power and can lead people to follow him. He showed great bravery, intelligence and he also became an inspiration to our fellow men during and even after the war. Antonio Luna deserves to be one of our heroes. I also noticed that the Philippine government in the past greatly resembles the government issues in the present, just like how the cabinet members prefers to be under the power of United States to aim more money and superiority in their own state. However, with this film I observe a lot of admirable actions as well as a lot of flaws in our country all the way from the late 18th century. As an ‘International Studies’ student, it’s typical for us to have some interest in different culture other than us although I never actually detest our culture. Furthermore, the movie carries joy, laughter, sorrow, grief, conflicts, and realizations especially when it became an eye opener for me. Antonio Luna in the system of the Philippines in the American invasion period. The cinematography, cast, writing is really wonderful and realistic, although the language used is not what I expected because it looks too modern. It is indeed one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. The film, “Heneral Luna”, 2015 is a Filipino historical biopic film about General Antonio Luna.
