Overranked Soldier | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_1230e19e | comment |
Overranked Soldier: General Jose Alejandrino is of the opinion that there is no proper soldier in the Philippine military, himself included. This is because Antonio Luna was the only one to study military science and many others are either appointees or competent but otherwise unqualified. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Goyo suffers from some shell shock that seems to have started from when he got a grazing head wound from a previous battle years ago in the revolution against Spain, though he's also haunted by Bernal's accusations. It leads him to accosting a senile old man and nearly drowning in a stream. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome: Goyo's death. Immediately prior, he quietly stares off into the distance during a relative lull in the battle, self-reflects and resolves to do his duty and live up to his reputation, one of his men hands him a rifle, he does a Dramatic Gun Cock while striding away and saying what would otherwise have been a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner—then BANG. | |

Warts and All | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_3bfd638c | comment |
Warts and All: The film presents Gregorio Del Pilar in both good and bad lights. He's a courageous fighter and with some tactical talent, but he's also shown to be self-doubting and reckless womanizer. The first few scenes has him liquidating Luna's close allies, not exactly dissuading the accusations of him being Aguinaldo's loyal attack dog. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: As with Heneral Luna, this is lampshaded in the opening text, pointing out how the film is a mix of historical facts and fiction. There are conflicting accounts and evidence about whom of two sisters Del Pilar courted, Dolores or Remedios Nable José. The movie goes with Remedios while a 1990s biopic titled Tirad Pass: The Last Stand of Gen. Gregorio del Pilar went with Dolores. There are basically two conflicting versions of Del Pilar's death, and other movies have used the more romantic one from a journalist attached to the American soldiers at Tirad Pass, while this uses the less romantic, even anticlimactic one from his own soldiers who gave similar accounts to each other. Continuing from the previous film, it is not actually clear (and may well never be) that Aguinaldo directly wanted or was directly involved in bringing about Luna's death, beyond command responsibility for the men who personally killed him, as clear "smoking gun" evidence about this has yet to be unearthed. What is certain is only that Luna was summoned to Aguinaldo's headquarters through telegraph, but the President was missing when he arrived and he was thus alone with Felipe Buencamino and Aguinaldo's presidential bodyguards (and this is all depicted in Heneral Luna). At the very least, Aguinaldo can be taken to task for not punishing Luna's immediate killers. But the films take the definite stance that he was complicit, and the repercussions continue in this film, where another of his generals, Jose Alejandrino, is depicted as relentlessly prodding him about the issue - until he finally admits that it was for the Republic's sake, or so he thought. Alejandrino then relays this to Mabini in a letter, but after Mabini is captured by the Americans, the letter is left behind and lost to history. Since Goyo is a ladies' man reputed to have a paramour in every town, some gossiping women say that his woo-and-run ways have led to the slang "nagoyo" (duped or fooled). In reality the Filipino verb "goyo" (to dupe/fool) and its derivatives "nagoyo", "manggogoyo" (deceiver), etc. is of unclear origin. | |

Due to the Dead: At first, the Americans loot Del Pilar and leave his naked corpse at the pass. They later come back to give it a military burial. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The lowlander Filipino soldiers look down on the highlander tribesmen whom they employ as porters, calling them monkeys ("unggoy") to their faces. This bites them in the ass when a tribesman guides the Americans to higher ground at Tirad Pass in order to foil the Filipino defenses, rather like the Battle of Thermopylae. | |

I Did What I Had to Do | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_b17f6a27 | comment |
Continuing from the previous film, it is not actually clear (and may well never be) that Aguinaldo directly wanted or was directly involved in bringing about Luna's death, beyond command responsibility for the men who personally killed him, as clear "smoking gun" evidence about this has yet to be unearthed. What is certain is only that Luna was summoned to Aguinaldo's headquarters through telegraph, but the President was missing when he arrived and he was thus alone with Felipe Buencamino and Aguinaldo's presidential bodyguards (and this is all depicted in Heneral Luna). At the very least, Aguinaldo can be taken to task for not punishing Luna's immediate killers. But the films take the definite stance that he was complicit, and the repercussions continue in this film, where another of his generals, Jose Alejandrino, is depicted as relentlessly prodding him about the issue - until he finally admits that it was for the Republic's sake, or so he thought. Alejandrino then relays this to Mabini in a letter, but after Mabini is captured by the Americans, the letter is left behind and lost to history. | |

Demythification | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_b51a2dd8 | comment |
Demythification: Compared to how his life is generally taught in schools (to the extent it is) and how previous Filipino movies have portrayed him, the film goes for a Warts and All approach and avoids putting him on a pedestal. This goes all the way to the moment of his death. Previous films showed the more romantic image of him being shot on horseback, saber upraised, charging at the foe (and the 1990s version even had him as pretty much the last man standing), which ultimately comes from an American newspaperman's account. This film follows eyewitness accounts from his own soldiers (including a Spaniard, identifiable in the film because he's called by name and only speaks Spanish) who said he was sniped rather suddenly and unceremoniously while standing on the ground, and this leads to a panicked retreat by his men. Some contemporary Filipino historians thus say the first version of his death was myth-making in action, and the second version should be given precedence, judging his own soldiers as closer, more reliable sources than the American journalist who could have spiced up his story to sell better. But historically the first version is the one most taught in schools and known in Filipino pop culture, and most illustrations, statues etc. of him are on horseback, naturally recalling this version of his death. | |

Precision F-Strike | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: There is less swearing compared to the previous movie, mostly due to the lead figure not being a pottymouth, but there are still some zingers. Goyo lets out one "Putang-ina!" ("Whore-mother", but used more like "Fuck") when he notices another general is giving his troops formation orders during a parade, and he rides up and yells at him that only he can do that ("Where Gen. Del Pilar commands, you do not command!") Aguinaldo, usually quiet and reserved, angrily says "‘Tang-ina, isang linggo na tayong ngumangata ng tubo!" ("Fuck, we've been gnawing on sugarcane for a week!") after his wife had fallen sick and his men bring her that to eat, but since they're on the retreat deep in the mountains, they have little else in the way of food on hand. | |

Hold the Line: The fortifications that Goyo and his men put up at Tirad Pass was pretty effective in keeping the Americans back. It took them bringing up their sharpshooters up a hidden path that led them even higher up the pass to break the defenders. | |

Informed Ability | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: While Del Pilar can handle himself and his men in a fight, his reputation as an outstanding heroic soldier and commander is largely spoken of but not really backed up by onscreen events, due to his deeds which made his reputation, eventually leading to his high rank and getting Aguinaldo's favor, all happening before the movie's timeframe when the Filipinos were rebelling against Spanish rule, and due to the Filipinos constantly getting their asses kicked by the Americans at present. In a flashback to one of his earlier battles against the Spanish forces, the Filipino rebels are already beaten and in panicked retreat. The movie uses the contrast between his reputation and what's only shown onscreen by having Goyo be haunted by self-doubt until he gets a handle on himself by the end and resolves to embrace his role as "the hero"... then he's unexpectedly and immediately killed without truly living up to it further, at least in cinematic terms. | |

We ARE Struggling Together | |
| Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral / int_cbdd9a55 | comment |
We ARE Struggling Together: The remnants of Luna's troops do not integrate well with the rest of Aguinaldo or Del Pilar's command. They get into a brawl with some Kawit soldiers during the march north and refuse to volunteer to reinforce Tirad Pass until Lieutenant Garcia arrives. There's marked friction between Jose Alejandrino and Emilio Aguinaldo, with their scenes together punctuated with the former demanding answers about Antonio Luna's death. | |
