Celebs, politicians, personalities rave about historical biopic 'Heneral Luna'

Umani ng papuri mula sa mga manonood ang historical biopic ng isa sa mga kontrobersiyal na bayani ng bansa na si Antonio Luna, na namatay sa kamay ng mga kapwa rebolusyunaryong Filipino.
 
Isang linggo pa lang ipinalalabas sa  mga sinehan ang pelikulang "Heneral Luna," ilang artista, pulitiko, at personalidad na ang nagpahayag ng paghanga sa obra ni ni Direk Jerrold Tarog.
 
Kabilang sa mga nagpahayag ng paghanga sa nabanggit na pelikula ang mga Kapuso star na sina Lovi Poe, Rhian Ramos, Carla Abellana, at Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez.
 
Nagpahayag din ng kanilang paghanga sa pelikula ang television host na si Tim Yap, batikang direktor na si Jose Javier Reyes, at maging si Sen. Sonny Angara.
 
Tinatalakay sa "Heneral Luna" ang makulay na buhay at kabayanihan ni Luna na inilalarawan ng iba bilang kontrabida noong panahon ng rebolusyon.
 
Makikita rin sa pelikula ang masalimuot na katotohanan na sa gitna ng giyera laban sa mga Amerikano, hindi lamang mga banyaga ang kalaban ni Luna kung hindi maging ang mga kapwa-Pilipino--kabilang na si dating Pangulong Emilio Aguinaldo.


 
Ginampanan ng batikang aktor na si John Arcilla ang role ni Heneral Luna, kasama sina Mon Confiado, Epi Quizon, Archie Alemania, Joem Bascon, Nonie Buencamino, Leo Martinez, Ketchup Eusebio, Ronnie Lazaro, Aaron Villaflor, at marami pang iba.

Celebrating the grandeur of Tarog's HENERAL LUNA as cinema: shattered by the truth in its statement about Filipinos & our leaders.

Jerrold Tarog's HENERAL LUNA: one of the best films of so many years for its critical & commercial appeal. Hats off to everyone who is part of this cinematic achievement. So for those endlessly bickering about the proliferation of kabits & shallow comedies in Philippine Cinema, get out of your armchairs & go watch this movie.

If you've been wanting and waiting for a GREAT quality Filipino film then this one won't disappoint. You have my word. Watch the movie and see how we once had a bad-ass Philippine General who had an awesome sense of humor. ???????????? #HeneralLuna #HeneralLunaTheMovie
