In the 90s, the Rizal storyline has been exhausted by superb movies by superb (and my favourite) directors Marilou Diaz-Abaya ( José Rizal, 1998) and Mike de Leon ( Bayaning 3rd World, 1999). Much have been dissected about Rizal’s martyrdom but very little of the other characters who joined him in the revolution. While I am not a fan of the over exposition, here are the reasons why I think it is worth your P200: Produced by Artikulo Uno Productions and the first in a series of movies that retells Filipino independence fighters (eventual heroes, until they are officially recognised by law), Heneral Luna is a surprisingly good movie. Heneral Luna is extended for another week and I suggest trooping to the nearest cinema house to catch it before, god forbid, it suffers the same fate as local non-blockbusters.
