And if you’ve been seeing the circus that is happening in all the three branches of our government today, it’s hard not to compare it to what was unfolding in the film. The audience is left wanting for more of the intrigues and the clouded confusion around the death of Luna, and how all of this would lead to an eventual tragic conclusion. The film is 2 hours and 40 minutes long but one gets the impression that the film was quite short.

Historical film as a delicate balance of historical account and creative license Unlike Heneral Luna, which featured a protagonist too brazen and quick-tempered, a portrayal of Antonio Luna excellently portrayed by John Arcilla, Goyo (portrayed by Paulo Avelino) featured a conflicted young general pushed to the frontlines by circumstances, whose internal conflict between being the attack dog of a president and being a man ready to die for his country, was clearly shown. Now on its fifth week, the sequel, Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral, now in cinemas, promises more action and more nuance than its predecessor, one that attempts to show on the big screen the least known part of Philippine history–the Philippine-American War. It wasn’t that long ago that I wrote a review of Jerrold Tarog’s film, Heneral Luna. “Ano ba ang halaga ng isang bayani? Ano ba ang nasa likod ng kadakilaan? Bakit tayo pirming nakatingala, sumasamba nang walang pagdududa? Bakit tayo bulag na umaasa sa mga tagapagligtas?” Indiohistorian: The Boy General on the Big Screen: An IndioHistorian Film Review of Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral
