Epy Quizon Saddened by Unknowledgable Remarks About Mabini in Heneral Luna

Artikulo Uno Production's 2015 biographical movie Heneral Luna has gathered hype and attention from historical viewers, critics and audiences even before it was released this September. And deservedly so, because it was a massive box office hit, as the film continues to enjoy continuous success and drawing positive reviews for it's story line, plot, execution, and overall acting. Many who've watched the film were very satisfied, stating that the movie truly brings out the colors of the country's historical leaders and does a fine job in portraying the heroes perfectly. Of course, despite the movie being a big hit and a success, there were still some uninformative comments in regards about the film which Epy Quizon, who portrayed Apolinario Mabini, lamented and was quite disappointed most especially the comments toward his character.

A particular tweet from a netizen on social media site Twitter has gathered much attention and debate, for stating that Mabini is "not standing up" in the film, which garnered significant debate from fans of the movie for such an uninformative comment. It also has gathered some negative responses from various netizens as well. For those who do not know, Apolinario Mabini was prominently called as the "sublime paralytic", for being the brains behind the revolution. He served as the Prime Minister to Emilio Aguinaldo's revolutionary government. He was an accomplished lawyer, and he performed his revolutionary and government roles despite being paralyzed after losing both of his legs due to Polio, hence the nickname "sublime paralytic." Unfortunately, many are not aware of this fact, which Epy Quizon finds displeasing in regards to the comments of his portrayal of Apolinario Mabini in the film. He was asked why his character never stood up, and he took to Twitter to express his desire in answering the questions.

The film has been a fiery hot topic to many viewers, fans and netizens online, mostly on social media. Some have praised the movie for actually being great in portraying our historical day heroes, while some aren't quick to give their enlightening comments in regards to the movie. It's popularity has spread far and wide, so much that it sparked an "online revolution" of some sorts by avid viewers. Even so, the movie was well received by critics, and being one of the most expensive movies with a budget of 80 million pesos, truly it is a movie for everyone to watch.
