Elegant is a word to describe the storytelling of Heneral Luna; Brilliant is another.
The little we know of Antonio Luna is as much about our apathy to history, as it is about an educational system that has yet to work into its program the study of historical personalities beyond heroism and beyond being perfect individuals. But also, if this film is any indication, the little we know of Heneral Luna might be about our inability as a nation to accept heroism to come in various forms.
