Notes
editThe film contains a mistake in its timeline in that Daniel is stated as being born on 1892, but he is mentioned to have had his first vivid memory at the age 6 when he met his father. However, the period depicted was not 1898 but rather 1897 as Simeon mentions that Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo were still fighting wars on different fronts. This is further supported by the production notes on the film[1] as the Tondo setting was filmed in Binondo which was made to look like 1897. Thus, this event occured prior to the Tejeros Convention and the Pact of Biak na Bato. This places Daniel's age at roughly 4+1⁄2 years old.
The mistake rears its head again during the present setting, as Daniel's 88th birthday was supposed to have been celebrated on July 8, 1978 - coinciding with the period within which the script for Águila was written. However, Daniel could not have celebrated his 88th birthday in the same period as he would have just been 86 years old by then.
Daniel also misstates that he was 75 years old when the Aetas first turned to him for help, although the English subtitles do correct this mistake by stating he was 85.
Daniel is not the only character whose age has a discrepenacy. When Mari decided to run for a seat in the House of Representatives in 1953, Daniel remarks that Mari is barely or is not even 27 years old yet. However, as was established in the timeline, Mari by this point in time is already 27-28 years old.

Unrelated drafts
editThis talk page had contained drafts for articles about several other films. These were removed in this edit on the ground that they were not relatd to helping improve the article Aguila (film). Such drafts should be posted, if at all, in their own pages, probably iun the Draft: or User: namespace at first, where they can be reveiweed and improved before being moved to the main article space. See WP:AFC for details. Please do not include such unrelated content on this talk page in future. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:07, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- @DESiegel: I'm sorry for that. Won't happen again. I had to place it here because I didn't know where else to place those drafts. I thought it would be ok considering this page is a FPJ movie and those drafts were likewise FPJ movies After they were deleted, I created the pages and have added references to the same. Was planning on creating them at a later date because I wanted to find more references and also because I'm currently busy reviewing for a board exam. Rest assured, drafts that are unrelated to the main article would be the least of your problems with me going forward. Real sorry for the mess. Warmest regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gardo Versace (talk • contribs) 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Gardo Versace, (please try to remember to sign your talk page posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your message) I was the one who deleted those drafts. Don't worry, they can be retrieved from the page's history when you are ready to take them to their own draft pages. This page is for discussing how to improve the attached article, nothing else, not even a general discussion about the subject of the article is allowed if it's not connected in some way to an effort to improve it. You are obviously a good faith contributor making very helpful contributions to the encyclopedia, so there isn't much here to apologise for; mistakes are what we learn from. DESiegel deserves my thanks for adding this note, which I should have added so you wouldn't be caught off-guard to see your hard work apparently gone. BTW,
the least of your problems with me
means the exact opposite of what you intended; it actually reads as a threat that you are going to cause so much problems going forward that this issue wouldn't even be worth mentioning by the time you are done. Cheers! Usedtobecool TALK ✨ 12:44, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- @Usedtobecool: Thank you for understanding why I did what I did and for recognizing the work I put into these drafts. Will take note of the four tildes and will keep it close to the vest. Also, my apologies again if it sounded like a threat, my intention though was to say that me doing it agin would not be a problem anymore going forward as I will be more circumspect with my editing. I've certainly learned from my mistake here and I thank you Usedtobecool for pointing that one out and giving me a chance to learn. Warmest regards
