There is a lot of nonsense in this film review, and I don't know what to say. The central idea is actually "this movie is very good, and it is very enjoyable to watch it. After watching it, I feel that I have gained something and thought about it, so let's all watch it."

Wonder what the cut version will look like in May?
Watch the lower part of Rainbow Bridge tomorrow, then wait until May to see the cut in theaters.


+++++++++++++++++++ It's all bullshit below +++++++++++++++++++


from the narrative to the picture to the soundtrack All exceeded my expectations, and I can hardly pick out any big mistakes.

The story goes like this: brave and good at fighting with the enemy's head to prove the grown-up Seediq people, the Qing Dynasty and Japan signed the Shimonoseki Treaty, the resistance of the Han Chinese in Taiwan, Japan began to explore and develop in Taiwan, the Seediq people's resistance, Japan The alienation of people, the surrender of the Seediqs, the oppression of the Japanese, and the resistance of the Seediqs.

The picture is like this: the scenery is extremely beautiful, the hunting and war scenes are full of rhythm and power, and the lyricism is delicate and emotional.

The soundtrack is good to hear.

The above are the most basic elements of a movie, and Seediq Bale has done it well. Story-wise, the Seediqs had every reason to take destructive revenge on the Japanese, not to mention the Japanese massacres of the Seediqs during their repressive reign (the father killed the Japanese, the whole family was burned by the Japanese) death) and oppression (in heavy rain, the Seediq people still cut down trees and move trees, defaulted and did not pay wages, treated the Seediq women as slaves and prostitutes, condoned the Han Chinese to sell wine to the Seediq people, and made many Seediqs People use alcohol to paralyze themselves, obviously many of them have been in arrears with money, presumably the Japanese gave the money), from the tradition of the Seediq people alone, every Seediq man has to kill an enemy with his own hands, Only a man can be considered an adult with a glorious tattoo. After death, he enters the Rainbow Bridge in front of the hunting grounds in the kingdom of heaven. Only men with blood-stained hands can enter. So, how can such a Seediq be tamed forever? Unless they are not Seediqs anymore. Mona Ludo said it well, in another twenty years, Seediq will not exist. So you can't wait, for pride, for ancestors, you must resist, even knowing that this war will ultimately be lost. The battle scenes are full of powerful and sharp and real movements, as well as neat and tidy beheadings, as well as smooth shots and editing, all of which make people feel like they are there. Music occupies a very important position in the film, and there are many traditions about the Seediq nation that are all expressed in the lyrics of the music. And at the end of the Seediq people's resistance, the massacre of Japanese women and children, the music played a role in diluting the bloody picture. Boredom does a superb job of soundtracking whether it's to match the rhythm of the film or the bio-film theme, and, most importantly, it's pretty good.

But this movie, in my opinion, falls on freedom, equality, and ancestral nations.

If civilization wants us to bow down, then I will show you barbarous pride. The Seediqs can tolerate changing their way of life for thousands of years, but they cannot tolerate men being treated as slaves, women being treated as prostitutes, children being educated daily, and inequalities that are manifested everywhere. The civilization brought by the Japanese made the Seediqs aware of their barbarism and poverty. The aggression of civilization will often break the balance formed over thousands of years, just like the one in "God is Crazy". The glass bottle that fell from the sky easily caused cracks in the primitive and backward nation. For the Seediq people, the civilization brought by the Japanese is not only unequal and unfree, it not only makes the Seediq people inferior to others, but most importantly, the Seediq people have lost the possibility of free development since then. In the absence of equality, there is no freedom, and if there is no resistance, there will only be death, and those who survive will no longer be the real Seediq. This happens when almost all backward nations face the invasion of nations with higher civilizations. Today, although many nations have gained freedom and equality, almost all of them are "civilized".

In my opinion, the ancestors respected the ancestors and followed the traditions, which covered all kinds of customs and norms. Some things that are unreasonable to outsiders are the truth in other people's nations. It can only be improved, not condemned.

Regarding the ethnic issue, I would like to quote Da Liu's theory of the dark forest:
1. The first requirement of all civilizations in the universe is to survive;
2. Various civilizations in the universe are developing continuously, but the various resources provided in the universe for the development of civilizations The total remains unchanged.
The dark forest means that civilizations in the universe are wary or fearful of other civilizations that they do not understand, and dare not take the initiative to reveal their location information in the universe, fearing that the development and survival of their civilizations will be endangered. But they do not let the development of other civilizations fear that they will one day threaten themselves. As if a group of hunters with shotguns entered a dark forest to hunt each other. If you see a fire in the distance, no matter what it is, shoot first. Any civilization can become a hunter and can also become the prey of other civilizations. And the cost of destroying it after the technology reaches a certain level is much lower than exchange learning.

The dark forest theory, in my opinion, is a summary and sublimation of the slaughter between races and races and the destruction of civilizations to other civilizations throughout human history.
Therefore, the unfairness and oppression brought by an advanced civilization in the face of a backward civilization are unavoidable. Even if there is no direct contact, there is always a sense of superiority.
There will always be times when you look down on someone.

In fact, I can't move my head at all. The original intention of writing this review is to express how good this movie is, and then I have grasped all the points very well. After watching it I have some thoughts, but my level is limited and my writing is sloppy. I hope no one reads this review...

  • Ichiro Hanaoka aka Dakis Nomin: [Asking Jiro/Dakis Nawi before performing seppuku] Jiro, are we subjects of Japan's Mikado... , or the descendants of the Seediq ancestors?

    Jiro Hanaoka aka Dakis Nawi: Do it. Cut it up and end your conflicts right here and now. We don't have to go anywhere once we're dead. Let's both be free wandering spirits.

  • Mona Rudao: There are more Japanese people than the tree leaves in the forest, than the pebbles in Jhuoshuei River. But my determination to fight them is more adamant than Mt. Chilai! If your civilization wants us to cringe, I'll show you the pride of savages!
