The exploration of the grayscale of human nature, the persistence of soul and belief

The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in 1895, and Taiwan was ceded to Japan. In 1930, the background of the film was the "Wushe Uprising". After dozens of battles, both large and small, there were only less than 300 women, children, and children in the entire tribe. After 12 years of preparation, this film is an epic literary and artistic film performed by more than 20,000 people across the country. Why call it an art film? In addition to being lively, the criteria for judging commercial films is that the black-and-white world has been simplified, and the depiction is very clear. Black is black and white is white. Literary films give people the feeling of being dull and quiet, but the criteria for judging literary films are not like this. Literary films can not only give people a sense of reality, but also the sense of authenticity in terms of the plot and the sense of the camera. A complex discussion of human nature and a sense of audience engagement. Literary films will not directly give standard answers, but will arouse people's thinking and imagination space. In addition to the black and white world, the human nature discussed in the film also has a vast gray area.

Looking at the entire film, it feels contradictory after watching it. The Japanese colonists came to enlighten them and bring them civilization and progress. After all, some of this tribe's way of life is still too barbaric. For example, if there is a slight conflict and friction between the two sides, they will behead people. Such brutality and bloodshed, in the eyes of foreigners is incomprehensible. But beheading people in the Seediq tribe represents honor and achievement, because only beheading can draw a totem on the face. From the beginning, they still rely on hunting to exchange food and daily necessities with the Han people. It is not difficult to see that their way of life is quite primitive. How can people with cold weapons fight against Japanese planes, cannons, and bullets, not to mention that Japan itself lacks resources. Coming here is not only for enlightenment and conquest, but also to snatch resources, and then a large number of forest resources are developed, which is the price of civilization.

When the leader of Monaru felt confused, he thought of his father, but their father was no longer in this world, why did he think of his father at this time? Because in the tribe, the older you are, the higher the hope. They have a lot of life experience, and I hope they can give him guidance. But his father did not answer his confusion directly, but sang folk songs to the rainbow. Folk songs are an indispensable part of tribal culture, and the other side of the Rainbow Bridge is the hunting ground of heroes and the souls of ancestral spirits. These are Said What the Ke people are engraved in their flesh and blood, so Monaru already has the answer here, but it still lacks a certain amount of courage and timing.

They have lived together with the Japanese invaders for more than 30 years, and the trust between the two sides has long been established. There were not many Japanese during the "Wushe Uprising", but the leader stationed in Taiwan was shocked when he heard the news, because he believed The Seediqs would not resist, but they did not expect that a conflict at the Seediq wedding would become the fuse of this uprising. This conflict caused their personal dignity to be insulted. In the past 30 years, they have been humiliated, beaten, and discriminated against by the colonists. Although there was no great resistance, in the end, the uprising broke out. The essence is still their pursuit of equality and their identity. This vigorous and majestic uprising banner was played with tragic music. This music was sung for the innocent women, children and children they killed, and it was also sung for them. From the beginning of the uprising, it has already hinted at their ending. This uprising Doomed to fail.

They used their lives to reawaken the totem imprint of the tribe. They were convinced by their heroism and justice, but also unacceptable for their brutality and extreme slaughter.
