General Antonio Luna was the commander of the revolutionary army in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War. After over 300 years under Spanish rule, the Philippines now had to endure rule by the United States. General Luna fiercely fought the Americans and refused to comply with them, though his military decisions faced resistance from those loyal to President Emilio Aguinaldo. In the end, Luna's temper, pride and stubbornness led to his death, as he was assassinated in broad daylight by a group of presidential guards, though it remains a mystery if Aguinaldo ordered the killing or if someone else with a grudge against Luna was responsible.

I. Heneral Luna II. Short Summary Heneral Antonio Luna is the commander of the revolutionary army in the Philippines during the Philippine-American war.

In the end, his temper, pride and stubbornness brought him his death. A pack of presidential guards took his life in broad daylight that up until now is a mystery, whether it was really Aguinaldo who had him killed or it was a different person who had a grudge against General Luna. III. Reaction and Conclusion The film is truly remarkable and I can say with great confidence as one of the best historical movies ever created in the Philippines. The film showed the bravery of not only General Antonio Luna himself, but also our fellow Filipinos at that time. Despite the lack of supplies, equipments, proper training and cooperation, they fought against the Americans with all their might. In addition to that, focusing on General Luna, despite his bad temper, pride and aggressive behavior, we could see how much he loves his country and fellowmen. He is one of the prime examples of a patriotist. Upon watching the film, I have learned a lot more about the history and the heroism of the Filipino people. One of the scenes that caught my attention was how General Luna did not hesitate to climb his horse, holding only a single gun and proceeded to marched towards the Americans who were firing rains of bullets. Although it was reckless and somewhat an idiotic thing to do, it showed how brave and strong General Luna is. He was willing to sacrifice his life just to fight against the American army. In addition to that, the Filipinos were hiding and doing a safe fight, but as soon as General Luna marched towards the enemies, they all stood up with their weapons and backed up for Luna. This part proved that Luna was a great leader and that the Filipinos would never let their commander alone.

In Antonio Luna’s words; “Brothers, our greatest enemy is ourselves”. It revealed that the greatest enemies of the Filipinos, are the fellow Filipinos themselves. And up until now, it is still happening. The film is great and educational, but it also showed how flawed our country is and the people living in it.
