Usually, a blockbuster with a huge amount of information and a huge narrative is a test of the director's self-control. This film Wei Desheng completed quite well. In terms of emotions, the director is quite restrained. He is neither narcissistic nor arrogant nor flattering nor dissociating. He removes personal and even national stances, and uses God’s perspective to grimly portray all aspects of the entire incident. In terms of violent performance, there is no big deal, no taboo, and cruelty. The lens is refined and atmospheric, and the music is magnificent and simple. As a result, the majestic and epic temperament was forged like a gleaming blade in the dark night.
Wei Desheng maintains a low profile while possessing a fairly high angle of view, which is another rare feature. He will stop the progress of the plot and capture the morning light in the mountains of Taiwan, the pride on the faces of Japanese children, the red cherry blossoms, and the toes of the Sediq people dancing. Wei Desheng's efforts in de-commercialization and de-typing have brought some pure and delicate nature to the film. Aboriginal tattoos, dances, rituals and other cultural repetitions show his inner direction.
I have to mention the actors in this movie. There is not a single sentence in Mandarin and Japanese in the Gaoshan nationality language, rock-hard lines, and full and powerful performances that allow these non-professional actors to fully express the sturdy spirit that professional actors may not be able to express. As the soul of the movie, Mona has a powerful aura and a leadership temperament like a lion king, and his eyes are like a knife. In order to bear the humiliation for more than 30 years in the last battle, he best interprets the national spirit of the Sediq and what is "barbaric pride". Whether the Seediq people are smart or brave, they are by no means as simple as the "barbarians" that the Japanese call them, but condensed into the common local spirit of Taiwanese and even the world's clear defense of freedom and faith. read.
This colonial war is not a simple war, but a cultural conflict that has run through decades. By carefully portraying several figures representing the positions of various parties, Wei Desheng allows the audience to penetrate their hearts and touch their beliefs and spiritual totems. With the gradual deepening of the rule, the contradiction between the colonizer and the colonized has gradually become irreconcilable. The collision of civilizations is inseparable from blood and fire. All civilizations are reborn from the flames of struggle and sacrifice. Human rights and dignity can be ignored between death and life. The only thing that exists is actually the inner belief. Faith allows the Seediq people to live to death, without fear of death. The Flag of the Sun and the Rainbow Bridge, these two nations that have a very similar worship of power and fascination with violence will eventually fight to the death. For this cruel proposition of choosing one between faith and life, everyone handed in their own answers.
