    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.

    It's a very well done War Epic, and a great portrayal of Luna.
    Going into this movie, I knew nothing of General Antonio Luna, but what they did for this legendary figure in Philippine history was extraordinary.

    Luna was a man's man who was the ultimate patriot, willing to fight and die for his country. As he fought a revolution against those trying to colonize his country, he showed them he was not afraid, which made his enemies, even those more powerful than him, nervous. While his men followed him with pride, he made some enemies from within from those who did not share his same ideals of patriotism.

    It was a well acted portrayal of Luna right up there with war epics like Patton.

    An overall good war drama.
