In my opinion, Filipinos at that time are scared and cowards that’s why they gave their trust to the Americans hastily. Not everyone agreed with his morals, thus earning him the title of “Heneral Artikulo Uno” because of his strictness. I felt that everything was difficult for him because while he was fighting for the country, he’s also having an argument with his co-Filipinos, making them follow his orders, and fight for what he thinks is right.
I think that as a leader, he is a complete disciplinarian and an autocrat, he always wanted obedience from his soldier which made him or created a bad image for him but amidst of being a terror leader, he lead his group well, constructed battle strategies,and fought for the country. Aside from telling us context wherein he’s always flared up, we also get to meet him more intimately as a leader, a soldier, a man and as a son. A national hero which is known to get a lot of enemies because of his very bad temper which also led to his assassination. The movie features the life of a short-tempered Filipino general who faces an enemy more formidable than the American country: his own countrymen. The film was selected as the Philippine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards. The film received critical acclaim from critics and audiences alike, praising its cinematography, writing, acting and plot. Heneral Luna: A Reaction Paper Heneral Luna is a Filipino movie that was released on 2015 under the direction of Jerrold Tarog and production by E.A Rocha.
