Set during the Philippine-American War, a short-tempered Philippine Revolutionary Army general faces an enemy more formidable than the American army: his own treacherous countrymen.
thanks Freeman! pls pls. upload Kuwaresma (2019). chilling and superb acting by John Arcilla. and also Magic Temple (1996) a definite favorite. (dig.restored version pls). more power!
This movie is well made...simple but well made. It has significant historical sense...that supposed to awaken social awareness of the Philippine nation. It touches mainly the political history of the Philippines. If you look closer as to the defeat of the Philippines against US during that war you will find this movie as very educational and revolutionary.
This movie was great in telling the story of General Antonio Luna. The Filipino revolutionary general that was feared most by the American generals. Luna understood well on how to use terrain & build defensive trenches that rivaled those of European war theater. His great predicaments are lack of arms, supplies, weak political leadership support, & political infighting among the Filipino elite. Had not been assassinated by Aguinaldo & his war plans to move to the Mountain provinces, & the arrival of 2 arms shipment from Japan that unfortunately sank due to heavy armament loads, it could caused hundreds of thousands of American casualties.
