ANG WALANG KAPANTAY NA HENERAL: HENERAL LUNA


The film showed me what a true hero “Heneral Luna” is not just because he can lead an army of his soldiers but how he accepted his fate and still keeps on fighting for his life even if he knows that he is outnumbered. He shouted the word “duwag” to the soldiers who ambushed him and murdered him. For it is true a true soldier would not fight someone who is wounded by others. A true soldier would fight someone if he or she is ready to accept that he will not be victorious. Which shows how Luna didn’t shout for help or tried to escape but he faced them all and did his best to protect himself. Also it shows how the government is before they have people that sided before with the Americans just to protect the “economy” but the truth is that it’s all about “business” and “money”. Heneral Luna is fighting for freedom and not just having a peaceful kind of way to end the war but to express that he and his army and all of the “Filipinos” are strong enough to protect the country. The way that he puts up with everything even if he gets rejected he would never give up on what he believes. He is the kind of person who is truly amazing even if he is harsh in some ways. The film also reminds me of our government today for some reason it didn’t change. When it comes to power they would be selfish like in the scene where they tried to ruin Heneral Luna’s name while having a small conversation with President Emilio Aguinaldo. Talking about how Heneral Luna got mad and set out his emotions in a bad way saying words that he didn’t meant to say. It only shows how thirsty others are just to drag down Heneral Luna. It took me awhile before I figured out where the “SPOLIARIUM” scene was supposed to be then I realized it was near the last part where they also killed one of Heneral Luna’s soldiers and was drag up next to him. I actually cried and was still thinking how beautiful it is.
