Firstly, that seminar was great. Secondly. the movie preview was even greater. Thirdly, the ones in charge of the seminar were excellent. Overall, for the first non-academic related seminar I've had of the year, it was fantastic. I really like the way he explained things, and the answers he gave to certain questions from the crowd.
I like how they did not side with a particular belief about our heroes, and how they did not overtly glorify them. They reminded us that they were just normal humans like us, and had flaws and mistakes just like us. They were heroes not because they great beings, but because they were simple people that did great actions.
I for one, am excited about the movie. The people behind it really felt like they knew what they were doing; the last movies, about Aguinaldo and Bonifacio respectively, were, in short words, terrible - mostly due to the fact that they were biased towards a certain side of history, and the overall directing was terrible, so I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about this one.
Like what was said in the seminar, one should not believe that they are unable to contribute anything to the country, no matter what age. Simply doing your best and being helpful to the people around you, even if it's small acts only, is already a great contribution. Small actions eventually pile up and become big ones, and that is how the world changes.
Moreover, that is how a hero is made.
The time we've watched the teaser of Heneral Luna, i already knew that it will be a unique one compare to the other historical movies. Because it does not only gives knowledge to the people but it also gives entertainment to others.
