If ever there were any lapses or inconsistencies, I either didn’t notice them, or I let them slide. The entire production, from the costumes to the make-up to the sets to the cinematography to the camera movement to the special effects, were excellent, especially the visual reference to the older Luna’s masterpiece “The Spoliarium”. But if it’s films like these that would make grade school students head to the library to borrow actual history books, if only to find out what really went down during the Revolution, then the filmmakers have done a good job. Granted, the filmmakers have posted a disclaimer at the beginning about taking creative liberties and artistic license. If it makes enough money, that means people actually watch films like these, and that means studios need to make more of these movies so viewers can watch them and generate money for the studios to make more movies… you get the drift. Which in turn is the yardstick by which a film’s success is measured. (Shame on you!)īox office sales mean revenue for the filmmakers Here are six reasons why you should go see Heneral Luna on the big screen, and not wait for the torrent to come out. And as Hollywood continues its downward spiral of remakes and reboots, we definitely need more films like this.

That would, of course, be unfair to other contemporary filmmakers, because we wouldn’t call their films “hopeless” now, would we? But I think we all agree that Heneral Luna is definitely a breath of fresh air in this Hollywood-saturated market. Viewers and critics have been hailing this as “the hope of Philippine cinema”.

And I never expected it to be a Filipino film. I have been waiting for the film that would bring Da Couch Tomato out of retirement.
