Heneral Luna

[oliver1013]

Watched this last sat out of curiosity, since I've been bombarded wherever I go about it's epicness.

I'm a war movie nut, I was expecting a Gladiator, Saving Private, The Patriot or even Braveheart type of battle scenes. Medyo konti pa para talagang epic. Although it's a giant leap from the last pinoy action movie I watched.

As for the flow of the story, yep angat sa naka gisnan kong Pinoy movies of yesteryears.

Ok na rin!

[badkuk]

haven't watched it, but sabi ng kapatid ko maganda raw.

It's such a shame, all this time we've been bellyaching about the lack of "quality" local movies, and when one comes along, pinaikli pa yung runtime niya sa local movie houses.

[Bin Diesel]

Ganda, grabe lang talaga bilis maubos ng tickets. Sa bandang dulo ng movie parang gusto ko tumayo at batuhin yung screen nung ipinakita mukha ni Aguinaldo. Hehe.

[Mguy]

I don't watch Filipino movies because of the poor quality and cheesiness of the stories. I made an exception for this since my kids were curious. Although its still rough at the edges, the story and quality has greatly improved. Well written and played by the actors. Worthy to be in the Oscars.

But its the moral of the story that really bites. Its a reality check for Filipinos. As General Luna has said that in all the battlefields he went, the worst enemies of the Filipinos were Filipinos themselves.

Daming tinamaan sa line na yan at angkop na angkop talaga sa mga Pilipino. Sa US nga pag TNT ka ang sabi nila magtiwala ka na sa kano wag lang sa pinoy. Kasi pinoy pa yung mas magsusumbong sa embassy.

While watching those scenes, I cant help but think na, putcha parang ganun na ganun parin ngayon..definitely wala parin pinagbago ang mga pinoy.

My thoughts even wandered to, what if China invades us or is this how we fight our enemies in the south..wow parang I can see current politicians doin the exact same sh*t. Indecisive leaders, military officials leaving their posts/fronts just to attend parties, businessmen striking secret deals with the enemy, while the ordinary soldiers die in the field.

Kakaasar

Sabi nga nila si Aguinaldo daw yung kaunaunahang TraPo.

my sentiments exactly. nakakalungkot ang sitwasyon dati. at nakakalungkot na sa tagal ng panahon, walang pinagbago.

Galing talaga ni OB

Si OB nga ba yan? Aba, magaling na sya.

Alam mo kung sino nanood nung movie. Panay sabi ng "Puny€ta!"

Mga anak ko nanood. Sinabihan sila ng school nila to go & watch the movie. Discounted sila. P80 lang for students. Ganda nga raw ng Heneral Luna.

[CLAVEL3699]

dont like lang bakit hindi sinabi sa story ang katraydoran din ni Luna bago sya naging heneral.

Fall - Rise and Fall ni luna dapat yan.

Bago sumiklab ang revolution ni Bonifacio hinikayat si Heneral Luna na sa sumapi sa katipunan pero ayaw nya makidigma sa Espana dahil ang gusto nya ay maging isang probinsya nang espana ang pilipinas para ang mga pilipino ay mabigyan nang karapatan makapag aral at bumoto pareho nang gusto ni Jose Rizal. Ayaw nya sa Digmaan.

Ngunit noong sumiklab na ang digmaan, dinakip na ang mga pinaghihinalaan at nakasama dito ang mga Luna... noong si Luna ay tinorture nang mga Espanol sya ay nagturo kasama sa kanyang naituro ay si Jose Rizal na madalas kausap nang mga katipunero... kaya sya ay nabansagan na traydor noong panahon nang kastila.

Siya ay nakatakas na nag aral nang war science sa europa at doon din sumiklab naman ang American war doon sya hinikayat ni aguinaldo na maging heneral nya dahil may pinag aralan eto sa larangan nang war science.

Kaya dapat Fall - Rise and Fall ni Antonio Luna

[oliver1013]

Aba bago yan, ngayon ko lang nabasa na may ganyang kuwento..

In history each and every character has a dark side, ganyan talaga ang buhay.

Anyway, I wonder, showing kaya ito sa mga sinehan sa Kawit Cavite?

Kasi ako pag labas ko ng sinehan, parang minit ang dugo ko sa mga taga Kawit..hehe

Galing pala ngayun ko lang nalaman. Bakit sa History class namin walang nababangit na ganito. So hindi lang din pala si Emilio ang masama dito, meron din palang baho si Luna.

Probably antonio held a grudge with rizal over an altercation with a lady they were both enamored with

During their stay in europe Antonio was drunk and blurted some unsavory words about the lady. When jose learned about the things antonio had to say about the lady rizal challenged luna to a duel to which the latter declined and apologized. This incident can be viewed as cowardice on the side of luna or his unwillingness to kill a compatriot over a lady

There are two sides of a coin. One thing rizal & antonio luna had in common then, that we are better off under spain. Opting for reform rather than independence.

But when the revolution took the country by storm, the fire of the revolution galvanized luna to take arms for the country. At the prodding of aguinaldo put his knowledge in military science to good use. The winds of change has blown and the young nation was born together with the desire of his compatriots to be FREE

Ready or not the revolutionaries took up arms and engaged the spanish colonizers in a lethal duel in the battle fields banking on their collective desire for self determination

In the same effect the movie doesnt intentend to glorify antonio but to promote self reflection (learn from history) & patriotism (love of country) which we unfortunately still lack after more than a century of independence from spain

Part 4 daw si Binay. :rofl:

P******! Hahahahaha

[KenGarcia]

Watched EB just a while ago. May palaro na ang tanong kung ano ang first name ng kapatid ni Heneral Antonio Luna. Guess what, walang nakasagot sa contestants. Simumisigaw siguro ngayon ng P**yeta si Heneral Luna.

Oh Spoliarium and Parisian Life.

[jut703]

Meron bang taong walang dark side? Lahat naman sila meron. But it doesn't discount the fact that they died for the country, in quite a literal manner.

[dr. d]

History is written by the victors... in the manner that they see fit.
