born only for freedom

Seediq Bale, Taiwanese Seediq word, from the Seediq language (Seediq Bale), meaning: "real person".

I feel too much, but I am speechless, and I can't find more precise words to match this work. Words can be drunk, and so can images. The so-called hearty, so-called soul-stirring, a dirge of fighting for faith is intoxicating. It turns out that there used to be such an ethnic group in Taiwan, with the masculine beauty nurtured by the magnificent mountains and rivers, the bloody courage created by the spirit of freedom, and the Seediq people, who regard their home as their life, cannot afford to occupy the magpie's nest, "You can lose your body, but you must win. "Soul", the leader Mona Ludao and a group of clansmen opened up a bloody road with savage courage to confront the so-called trampling of modern civilization.

The whole film is majestic, dignified and tragic, not only the brave and good at fighting, but also the slightest sense of hardship and forbearance. The picture is exquisite and the momentum is like a rainbow. The 12 aboriginal music throughout the whole is either high-pitched or mournful, slowly lingering at the important turning point of the plot. It sings the decisiveness of the warriors and also expresses the confusion of life. When aggression and plundering are carried out in the name of a fake civilization, the inherent living environment is broken, and people who are indifferent to the world are forced to give up their traditions and dignity. Women are good at sewing red suits" (lines), and there is no way out except to defend the Seediq people in every inch of land.

I spent years preparing for the filming of the film. Later, due to the serious lack of funds, the Japanese and Korean staff left one after another. The director Wei Desheng had to raise money everywhere, and he even lowered his face to borrow money from the actors. Heart can learn. In order to achieve the best effect, the film uses a large number of aborigines as extras. They all walk barefoot among rocks and rivers without shoes and socks, which restores the Seediq people's swift and heroic appearance to the greatest extent. It is these It took a lot of hard work to end up with a masterpiece. This is also a key to trace back, for the younger generations and all Chinese in Taiwan to have a glimpse of the style of the times, a high sense of identity and a sense of belonging to their homeland, and how the hot chests and bloody tears of the ancestors carried the feelings and history of the country and country This is a treasure for the analysis and identification of cultural and ideological origins.

I only watched the upper part of "The Race", the more than 140-minute version, which should not have been abridged. I was lucky. The lower part of the Rainbow Bridge tells that more than 300 Seediq warriors responded to the crazy suppression of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, and they were all overwhelmed.

Long ago, he was not a hot-blooded youth who shouted and killed, and his requirements for this world have been reduced to a minimum. After more than half a century, the singing of the aborigines gradually approached with the wind, and the murderousness of the Seediq people condensed into a tear in the hearts of the audience. Yes, what can match the courage of a man. They wiped the blade in the dark night, danced against the sun on the eve of the decisive battle, raised their own mountains and forests for generations, sacrificed their blood to their ancestors, and embraced the rainbow in their hearts with their lives.

For this work from a Taiwanese director, I am envious. In the past 100 years, China has fought against the invasion of foreign enemies without lack of benevolent and righteous people, and there are many works of art with related themes. Except for the early "Jia Wu Fengyun", the others have not left a deep impression. When I was young, I felt inexplicably deplored in the Sino-Japanese naval battle when I read the text. Those soldiers and soldiers who had no backup and were outnumbered ended up being killed or killed themselves. That kind of subject matter is not impossible to shoot, but in the end there are only a handful of stars, and the few old domestic films are slowly forgotten in memory with time. I even wondered, if there was a chance to remake such historical films, would it be more exciting and thicker, and whether it would be able to make future generations chat and console themselves when paying tribute, just like the pride that the Seediq people brought to Taiwan will make people feel Immediately think of this work by Director Wei. Perhaps this kind of thinking is too formal. In any case, those Chinese soldiers on the battleship in 1894 must be calm and unrepentant in the face of the bottomless sea and their predetermined fate.
