"Heneral Luna" is one of the finest historical films that I watched.

It reveals all of
the data and information that Heneral Luna and his soldiers did previously. The
filmmaker wants us to understand that Heneral Luna did not give up the struggle
until the end, despite the fact that other Generals and high-ranking government
officials did not assist him in any way. Another message is that Filipinos can
defeat the Americans despite a lack of supplies, equipment, teamwork, and
leadership. Bravery in the film is another example.

Heneral Luna demonstrates his anger toward cowards and traitors on his side, as
well as his loyalty to the nation he loves the most. The film is completely
intriguing since its images and emotions demonstrate that it is well worth seeing.
Its action-packed plot and goosebumps moments transport us back to the events
of the Philippine-American War. It appeals to many Filipinos, particularly the
youth, since it instills in us the strength of bravery and collaboration toward one
another. Another reason it appeals to the youth is that it teaches us about the
history of the Philippines and the heroism of Filipinos in the past. I also saw the
beauty in the Heneral Luna film because most of the scenes depict arts in various
forms. Arts that represent something within them that we may describe in many
ways. It depicts arts throughout the war, on how did they manage things back
then, as well as emotion in the motions of the characters. It depicts many objects
before or antiques that reflect arts in the film. There are points throughout the
film when something is incomprehensible or difficult to explain. Art in the movie
may be determined by a person who genuinely likes anything with actions and
feelings.

"May mas malaki tayong kalaban sa mga Amerikano-ang ating sarili." These lines
from the movie portray Luna's aggressiveness, the Filipinos were afraid and didn't
know what to do, so they devised a strategy to fight the same race, which is
Filipino. We cannot fight ourselves nor win a war if our system of collaboration
and teamwork fails due to our cowardice and traitorousness. If we are to win a
battle, we must be bold and determined to rescue our homeland, the Philippines.
So, in the end, the film is excellent for individuals who are open-minded and who
like the Philippines. This film is an eye-opener in terms of understanding how
unity works.
