This can be regarded as a rare local epic film in recent years (well, I will call Taiwanese films local anyway).
It's very direct, raw, instinctive, and beautiful.
The film is completely consistent with the information I have consulted, it is faithful to history, and it depicts the characters.
In the course of history, in fact, it is difficult for us to judge what is right or wrong. From a local perspective, we naturally have to resist the aggression of the devils. But at the same time, it is even more necessary to blame the traitors who signed the contract. Therefore, this should not be an anti-Japanese film.
I feel more that this is a conflict between the beliefs of primitive tribes and the progress of civilization.
Should we respect the belief in the original ecology, watch women and children hang from tree poles and let their souls cross the Rainbow Bridge, or should we use more brutal methods to bring them into the territory of civilization? I don't think the movie has an answer. The director didn't want to give an answer, did he, or, there is no answer at all?
