When did the old man enter my dream?

If anyone wants to have a very rational understanding of the current situation in Taiwan, Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness" is a must-see. Before watching it, I never imagined that there would be so much hatred between Taiwanese and people from other provinces, and they would follow suit. With the passage of time, this hatred has gradually transformed into Taiwanese hatred of mainlanders. For this situation, Chen Yi needs to take the greatest responsibility. In fact, after the Japanese surrendered, Taiwanese people in Taiwan have a positive attitude of returning to China. (In the film, those Taiwanese intellectuals sang "The Trilogy in Exile" with passion), but due to the nonsense of the mainlanders in Taiwan led by Chen Yi, they just forced out the local consciousness of the Taiwanese, and then due to Chiang Kai-shek's actions. The repressive policy further deteriorated.

I finally watched a Hou Hsiao-hsien work that made me quite porridge, otherwise I will say goodbye to this boring emperor. History, politics, society, culture, Japan, China, people from other provinces, people from the province, these three words can no longer be summed up. I can only extract the most superficial afterthought from the profound and inner meaning: I think Tony Leung is the best actor among the Chinese.
