    Storyline

    Edit

    • Trivia
      After Luna is killed, he is dragged through one arm to the side of the convent, reminiscent of the famous Spolarium painting, which was painted by his brother Juan Luna.
    • Goofs
      When General Luna and his men enter a church to pray briefly after hearing news of the American attack on Santa Mesa, several statues of the Virgin Mary can be seen near a window in the background. One of them is Our Lady of Fátima; the Fátima Apparitions occurred in 1917, almost two decades after the film's time period.
    • Crazy credits
      In a post-credits sequence, General Gregorio del Pilar (Paulo Avelino) is told there are not enough men left. He tells his aide to choose 60--the number of men he had with him when he tried to defend Aguinaldo's retreat from American soldiers at the Battle of Tirad Pass. The scene hints that Del Pilar will be the focus of the next film in a rumoured historical film trilogy by director Jerrold Tarog.

    Worth your time and money.
    If you are unable to watch this movie in cinemas the best thing you can do is to purchase an original copy of the movie.

    The movie, character, plot, setting, climax are perfect. The movie is not trying hard and it is very entertaining to watch.

    There isn't much effects and most of the shots are done manually with a little aid of cgi, their characters are balanced and performed well throughout the movie. It shows the humane side of Heneral Luna (Gen.Luna) how his passion and love for the country evolved during his time.

    I have nothing much to say as this is indeed a great movie to watch and very regretful to miss.
