“HENERAL LUNA”
(CRITIQUE PAPER)
The movie “Heneral Luna” is one of the best historical movies ever
created by the Filipinos. It shows complete details and information that
Heneral Luna and his men did before. As a viewer, perhaps I was not able to
get the exact message that the director wanted to convey; but obviously, the
movie is about the willingness of our Filipino ancestors who fought and
willingly sacrificed for the country. In particular, Heneral Antonio Luna, the
main character, was depicted as the nationalistic leader of the Filipino
soldiers. Here, the filmmakers were able to create a character somehow
similar to us, something which we can relate for. The movie shows how
selfishness and having no collective unity and loyalty in the society greatly
affects the country. The movie reminds us of the sacrifices and the blood
wasted, just to achieve the freedom and independence that we have long
been aspiring for.
The film is engaging because the author makes it realistic for it to
become convincing for the viewers. The scenarios are naturally implied to
Filipino people’s characteristic before, one of which was depicted was that
they did not mind to use vulgar words. Moreover, the movie is not depicted
too poetic so the generations are able to relate. The film is also not boring so
the viewers are interested to watch it It emphasized the history of our
country under the jurisdiction of then President Emilio Aguinaldo as General
Luna lead the Philippine army for the freedom of our country. It also shows
the political hierarchy in his time. Watching the film, it expands our
knowledge about our history and at the same time it is also entertaining.
I am really impressed with the movie. The unique perspective and idea
of the filmmaker, the way the artists brought their character, and all of the
style they used in making such a beautiful movie, truly caught the attention
of the viewers. It is just that, I got disappointed about the unexpected
unhappy ending. I mean, why some of the Filipino before, kill the General
instead of just being open and cooperative. Its ending was also unclear but
being unclear makes the viewers to create and imagine their own ending
based from their understanding. So, in the end the movie is really great for
those who is open minded and for those who really loves the Philippines. If
there is another historical movie, I would love to watch it and to know more
about it.
