Someone should make a parody musical about the philippine American war, done in the style of hamilton but with deliberately distasteful songs like in oh what a lovely war. The finale could have the American protagonist expressing relief at surviving and expecting to be welcomed home as a hero only to discover that nobody cares about his comrades sacrifice because they are preoccupied with the big war in flanders

It is in youtube TBA

Bro you summoned the Filipino community

Next . Heneral goyo . The youngest general in Philippine American war

So, the obvious question, what makes you believe that Stalin was evil? Actually, please define evil, first of all. Neill Ferguson: "Allied troops often saw the Japanese in the same way that Germans regarded Russians-as Untermenschen (i.e., "subhuman")." Indeed, anti-Japanese racism was commonplace within the American military due, in part, to "yellow enemy" propaganda as well their experiences of Japanese brutality in combat; a poll of American soldiers from 1943 found that half of the respondents believed that the extermination of all Japanese people would be necessary to achieve peace." How many civilians were murdered by firebombing and nuclear explosions in Japan and Germany? Korea and Vietnam got literally leveled to the ground with carpet bombing, POWs were routinely massacred, women and children raped and exterminated. You ever heard of Julian Assange? Why is he being hunted like he committed Jeorge Bush junior level war crimes? European invaders, who claim to be "Americans" have existed like vicious animals since they started exterminating native population and they never stopped. Even today you can hear your leaders claiming that supporting Ukraine and expanding the war is good, because it's a cheap way to weaken Russia by hurting their material wealth and reducing it's population. "American psychiatrist M. Scott Peck describes evil as a kind of personal "militant ignorance". According to Peck, an evil person is consistently self-deceiving, deceives others, psychologically projects his or her evil onto very specific targets, hates, abuses power, and lies incessantly. Evil people are unable to think from the viewpoint of their victim." In conclusion, this whole "righteous indignation" or whatever it's supposed to be - is ridiculous and pathetic. Go work on your own glaring mistakes, instead of sticking your nose into other people's business. If you think you have some moral authority, you're completely delusional.

Too bad the Philippines was never granted Statehood.

There are more women in fields like medicine and engineering in Russia and other former Warsaw Pact countries than there are in their Western European counter parts. The big reason why is because for all their faults the Soviets, and Leftist political movements in general, really did prioritize emancipation of women. You could imagine how that promise of liberation can be appealing if your only prospects in life were marriage and becoming a baby making machine. Especially in a country like Spain which was very underdeveloped and still ruled over by tradition and conservative values.

Did Lucas see the comments?

If youre looking for more movies about overlooked conflicts i recommend One Man's Hero starring Tom Berrenger. Its about the Irish immigrants who fought for Mexico during the Mexican American war.

I’ve been recommending this movie to friends and family for years. I’m a huge history buff and they were all asking for films about war and they wanted the ones with the ugly truth. This was in my top 3 list with Uncut version of the pianist. There is something about these movies that there are times in my life I go back to watch them to remember how when you think you’ve hit the worst.. imagine being in those worlds. Reminder to be grateful yet awake and aware, always.

Johnny please review the next film Goyo, the Boy General. This is the Part 2 of the Trilogy. The 3rd one should be the life of Manuel Quezon.

quick fact. The Philippine Revolutionary Army wanted to buy Murata rifles from japan to gain more weapons for the revolution but from what I read no record exists that it made its way into the hands of Filipino revolutionaries.

its frustrating the fact that the entire leadership is so incompentant is actually real especialy in goyo i give them credit that they dont try to glorified anyone or trying to whitewash history

Do the rough riders 1997 next!

As a Filipino this makes me happy that you covered my favourite historical movie 😭😭😭

That film has few sex scenes in it 💀

Please the Lost Strait review Johnny

You might want to watch its sequel: Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.

Oh i remember this film, i saw it in my german class

but but but we are prends joe. weh liek you joe.plsss don't leb us.

What’s the cat’s name?

i didnt know that the philipines conisted of so many languages and ethnic groups - glad to have learned something new.

The film isn't too bad. However I do hate how it, and its sequel Goyo, sparked a frenzy of vilification against Aguinaldo. I enjoyed both on the first watch, but after witnessing the Aguinaldo hate they (perhaps unintentionally) created, I can no longer stomach either. There were also several inconsistencies in the uniforms and equipment where the producers did not follow, or wait for, their historical consultants' advice.

The saddest part was that the Filipinos were actually relatively well equipped after President Aguinaldo purchased of arms at HK and not to mention the offered support of the Japanese to arm Filipinos. But then again Kawit faction has already made up their mind ever since they killed Bonifacio. It’s just a matter of who’s the highest bidder and it just so happens that it’s the Americans. PS. I love the fact that Jhonny said “Filipino American War” instead of “Philippine insurrection” like history books always write it. Because it’s not an insurrection it’s an invasion of a sovereign country.

As a Filipino, I hated this film because it's nothing more than anti-Aguinaldo propaganda. For anyone who is serious in studying Filipino revolutuonary history, Antonio Luna is a lowkey villian. For one, it was Antonio Luna who squealed to the Spanish colonial authorities leading to Jose Rizal's arrest, mistrial, and subsequent execution in 1897. He didn't do jack squat in the first half of the Revolution. He only became Director of War in 1899 through Nepotism (Felipe Buencamino - minister plenipotentiary to the US - was his backer) and everyone in the Aguinaldo government save Aguinaldo hate his guts; even Apolinario Mabini (Prime Minister at the time) object to his appointment on thr basis that he was convicted of murder of a Chinese Sanglay merchant in Bulacan in 1887 where he escaped from justice. Even the army hates his guts due to his very abrasive attitude and him being a Nepo appointee didn't endear him to most of the soldiers. His death is more or less a well-deserved fragging than an assassination of a beloved hero. I hate that this film or this loe life ofna human being got the recognition he did not deserve...

Maybe this is a bit old but can you please do a review of Mountains of the Moon. Its one of my all-time favourite underrated historical films, alongside The Bounty, Ghost and the Darkness, and Lion of the Desert. It follows the Burton & Speke expedition, its broadly accurate but has a great sense of scale and adventure, cinematography by Roger Deakins, made by the same director as Five Easy Pieces and King of Marvin Gardens,

I have seen this.god bless for putting this on.real price is dead soldiers.my fathers brother died wòrldwar two went down in a bomber in bay of Italy. Dad said saw car coming to the house, And they knew.hismother went upstairs didn't eat for 3 days and sceamed the whole time my poor boy drowned like a rat.the other I saw 😢 with my own eyes worst thing ever saw by far.few weeks earlier he took us to the dairy bar then the big caddy pulls up knocked had to catch her in their a Rms.jimmys mother.hisbrother and I were playing across the street when it pulled up.hewas 10 and I was 12 he had his brothers ranger hat on we all bawled our eyes out.hurt.it still does.that is the price of war.

In the massacre of Balanggiga, the american marines executed all filipino male in the place above 11 years of age. Yes the american marines is a stain in the American flag.

Luna got the Julius Ceasar treatment, literally got betrayed the sameway.

Aye! I have been summoned! I'm from the Philippines

On the topic of Philippines war movies, I suggest reviewing El Presidente, same premises but focusing on the First Philippine President, Emilio Alguinaldo

Omaygah

It's also interesting to note that the Pinoy-American war had a big impact on American arms and tactics and may be one of the big reasons behind the adoption of the Garand and the .45 acp for pistols and sub guns.

What I appreciated about the movie is that we told history for what it really is, with emphasis on the crumbling unity of the Filipinos due to self-interest, envy and misplaced sense of importance. No native troops miraculously defeating more technically superior "American devils" through dramatic scenes of self-sacrifice or raw burst of fury. Some would see this lack of victory it as defeatist, self-flagellating, and a subtle praising of foreign power. But the tragic story that unfolded in the movie tells the sad truth about the cancer in the Philippine society - division and pettiness (in Filipino author Nick Joaquin's words, "A Heritage of Smallness"). "Heneral Luna" subtly reminds us modern-day Filipinos that we will continue to progress slowly and poorly as a nation if we keep looking only after ourselves instead of looking after the greater good. Hence, the title caption "Bayan o Sarili (Nation or [One]self?)" is not merely a dialogue in the film but a question that requires deeper reflection by all who viewed the movie.

Fun fact: the director of this movie is one of those individuals who hated the americans, translated well in this movie. Considering most anti-americans in the Philippines are communists, Possibly the director of this movie too, as its already well-known that ever since 1980's many anti-american movies are mostly directed by communists.

This movie is available on YT czcams.com/video/SYWo6FoVacY/video.html I will watch it , probably. THe same period was covered by the Spanish movie 1898. Los últimos de Filipinas (2016)

The UN's lack of balls in enforcing order and protection to the innocent shows that Peacekeepers are frowned upon more often.

I'd prefer this movie over Goyo. Anyone who thinks that General Gregorio H Del Pilar is a hero are delusional. General Antonio Luna carried the Entire Armed Forces all by himself while his Incompetent Government and other Elements of the Revolutionary Army hold the Filipino people back.

Put tank in a mall they say.

Sweet!

It’s fault of the Filipino leaders why the Americans won in the Philippine-American War. #fact Gen. Luna maybe a patriot and uncompromising, he’s cruel, was pragmatic in dealing with his enemies from the Aguinaldo government. They brought their own demist to themselves.
