706 Words3 Pages

Alyssa Audrey C. Indefenzo October 6, 2015 INTFILO - EL Heneral Luna Insight Paper Heneral Luna is a historical biographic film that takes place in the time of General Antonio’s leadership of the Philippine Revolutionary Army during the Philippine-American War.

He is known for being the hot-headed general and is described as an aggressive and strict military leader and a fervent nationalist. He believes in his principles and he does not care what his actions would do. He believes that no man is above the law of the country.

In the beginning of the film, the viewers see the story from Mia’s point of view, but the story later goes back and switches to Sebastian’s point of view.
