      . .

      I don't know how to say it, it feels a bit complicated, after all, I don't know much about the history of the aboriginal people.
      In the past, I had a faint impression that Japan was invading Taiwan and brutally killed and humiliated the aborigines.
      Watching this movie, you can't see the cruel shadow of the Japanese, but it can also be seen that they are squeezing the labor force of the aborigines.
      After the Japanese occupied cities and mountainous areas, they were constructive...

      Fortunately not Avatar

      The film tells the story of the famous Wushe incident in Taiwan's history. In 1930, an aboriginal tribe, led by leader Mona, took the initiative to attack the Japanese because of the unbearable Japanese colonial rule. Several profound issues are involved.

      The first is cultural identity. Under the influence of Japanese culture, are Japanese-speaking aborigines still aborigines? What exactly is this culture or national community that we recognize? Is it really worth defending with our...

      Let's Fight, Bloody Aboriginal Song

      A man is a man with indelible blood on his hands. So fight! Bloody aboriginal songs, human nature should be like this. To say that nature is good or evil is simply fart. If human beings really have nature, it is to live. A man hunts and protects the territory, and the hero is a hero. Women weave cloth for battle clothes. The thicker the calluses on their hands, the more respected they are. For those unsolved things, believe in the existence of gods. Singing songs passed down from generation...

      Knowing it can't be done and doing it, great faith

      Before Mona and Ichiro Hanaoka talked for the second time, I agreed with Ichiro Hanaoka, and I also thought that resistance was unnecessary.

      First, from the perspective of God, the evolution of society originally replaced the backward with the advanced. The basic living materials of primitive tribes must be exchanged with the outside world, not to mention the development of advanced technology. With an attitude of sticking to the rules, the tribe will never be able to move towards...

      Respect the nation, respect Mona.

      This film is undoubtedly a successful film. Before watching this movie, I learned that during the filming period, the lack of funds and the evacuation of the Japanese and Korean teams caused great difficulties for the filming of the film. But in the end it was presented to me in a convincing way.
      It can be said that "The Flag of the Sun", as a Taiwanese film, has set a benchmark for Taiwan's future films, and is an important turning point in recovering the spiritual culture of Taiwanese...

      It has an epic feel, and the soundtrack is very catchy at the beginning. The music is the essence of this film, better than everything else. But it is really a disdainful value, constantly inciting cheap nationalism and disguised naturalism, and massacres under the guise of resisting tyranny and pursuing freedom. How many innocent souls are comparable to the Boxers. With blood, there is no calmness, objectivity, pertinence and sense of...

      Wei Desheng's 12 years of sharpening a sword is majestic and worthy of respect, and the soundtrack is quite awesome. Compared with the procrastination of the plot caused by too much material in the second half, the first half is undoubtedly more compact and...

      The movie is full of vigor and masculinity, which is completely different from the small freshness of the previous "Cape No. 7". The plump characters and the tight storyline are full of respect for human nature, and they never incite a kind of hatred emotionally. He also did not forget to show the dignity of a nation through the pictures, which brought tears to people's eyes. Wei Desheng - pure man! Four and a half...

    The film was first prepared in 2003 with a 5-minute trial film, but it was temporarily suspended due to insufficient fundraising. Later, Wei Te-Shen changed to directing the first feature...

    Media Evaluation

    "Sedek-Bale" is an epic film without a word. It is based on the creation of historical facts, without deliberate sublimation and catering, only naked display and presentation. The proposition it interprets not only belongs to the former aborigines of Taiwan, but also belongs to the entire mankind. When Chinese films tend to be decadent and sluggish, it almost takes a proud posture, proclaiming the immortality of the film and defending...
