Heneral Luna

     In the film Heneral Luna, General Antonio Luna itself was a great and brave leader of the Philippine revolutionary army during the Philippine - American war. He serves as a supreme chief of the army under the first Philippine republic.
     It was an epic true to life movie that tells us about the story of General Antonio Luna during  his
era. I could say that this movie is very educational since not all of us are not aware who he really is, especially nowadays.
     The movie is great since the actors and the directors are great too. I admire them for their natural acts on their role and delivering their lines and scripts in a very natural and nicest way. They all make this film a simple one but it gained the attention of all Filipinos that ever since  we Filipinos are never united on one goal. Perhaps, some of the General Luna's lines are very meaningful like what he said, "Our real enemy are not the Americans but ourselves". A very deep words from him showing we Filipinos are struggling with ourselves, which is the most enemy of ours. We need to find our self first to reach our desires. I also like his line saying, "No one is above the law even the president", which means the law is powerful above anything else. Some of the officials hated him so much because of being arrogant, for me he is not being arrogant, it is just part of being an effective leader. I just can't accept that a good, intelligent, brave leader had been assassinated and killed brutally by our fellow Filipino unknowing who is the man behind this crime. He just want independence but do we really deserve independence? Do our heroes deserves to die for our country? I don't think so.
     The film is also related on the present, because what happen before is also happening today. People are fighting for power, Filipinos are lack of discipline to comply for their obligations. General Luna is a good model to us showing his love for our country. Unfortunately, others were not agree on what he is fighting for.
     Lastly, I suggest to return the law of the first Philippine republic article no. 1, stating "Whoever disobey the command of the supreme chief shall be executed   without the benefit of a trial in military court.
