Heneral Luna

           As I've watched the film, it was like an eye opener because I knew the things and sacrifices made by General Luna for the Filipinos. I admire the bravery of General Luna especially in the fight scene against the Americans. General Luna says “The real enemy of the Filipinos are themselves.” There is a point to be said for both envy and selfishness. Sadly, General Luna's willingness to fight for our country killed himl. Gwardiya Sibil killed him and I asked myself why not just those who are judgmental and derogate Filipino. “Bayan o Sarili?” This tagline was exactly the behaviour of other Filipinos. Most of the Filipinos is more concerned with themselves, than others. Selfish,that is the exact word. He is willing to die for Filipinos. Until now, the majority does not know, who killed General Luna. I don’t see any reason to kill General Luna in a violent way. Many Filipinos have sacrificed their lives merely to achieve independence for our country. It also showed that Filipinos are willing and able to fight for independence. That it come to the point that General Luna surrendered and he wanted to kill himself, because he knew he would not get the freedom that everyone wants. The film really inspired me, especially on how General Luna fight for our country . He said “they cannot win their freedom by caring for their loved ones, they have to pay the price.” General Luna is referring to our Blood and Sweat. Some of the politicians and business men does not like the way on how General Luna run things the way he want. I understand General Luna for being strict, because I know that he just want the Filipinos to be disciplined and responsible. And also he want the Filipinos to be aware on what is happening between the two country which is America and Philippines. We need to be united, for our country. Unity is needed to achieve independence. We should love or appreciate our country the way General Luna does.
