Colonized places often inevitably face the same problem—the dilemma of collective identity, or belonging. Ben had longing for the motherland and homeland, but was wiped out by the blood of reality——[We are the most pitiful people on this island, the Japanese, the Chinese, everyone eats, everyone...

I watched a video of Wu Nianzhen's speech at Fangsuo before. After watching it, I have two feelings. One is that I like Wu Nianzhen very much, he is a very down-to-earth person, and the other is that I can roughly understand why Taiwanese are reluctant to return. I don't want to use words...

To understand Baodao Taiwan's present, one must understand her past. Movies have become an important way for us to understand that era. If Bai Xianyong's "Taipei People" shows the loneliness of people from other provinces, "Sad City" is full of the helplessness of people in this province in the sad...

The perspective in the film is like a third party, showing a piece of Taiwan's tragic history with a calm and gentle eye. The sense of poetry and powerlessness of the camera lens is very strong. Chen Songyong's performance is so wonderful that the male No. 2 Tony Leung is somewhat...

Mr. Li really can't see any trace of his performance. What is unpretentious and clumsy, that's all. Some actors can really say that their acting skills are good, but this actor really has "no acting skills". After watching two of his movies, it seems that he is acting in his true colors, that is...

In the year of strictly preventing the spread of African swine fever, I first landed in Taiwan.

For Taiwan, the feelings are always complicated. We know it through various films and stars. It is a place of pilgrimage for the leaders of small fresh, literature and food, but in fact it is like a child...

Regarding the film text, such a classic and deeply rooted film, there are too many interpretations. It is nothing more than the history of Taiwan's history from the Restoration to February 28 to 1949 when the Nationalist government moved to Taiwan.

The narrative is very restrained, leaving a large...

I finally found time to watch the two and a half hours long "Sad City". Probably lack of sleep or poor mental state today, I couldn't help falling asleep when I saw 2/3. After I woke up and read the third paragraph again, I felt that it was still a bit dull after all. It's not an exaggeration to be...

In a Taipei County, Taiwanese, Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese, Cantonese, Shanghainese, the four brothers of the Lin family were conscripted by the Japanese army to the Philippines, and their life and death were uncertain. They were arrested as traitors and imprisoned. After being released, they...

To be honest, I really didn't understand it after reading it once. Maybe because I don't know the history of Taiwan's 228, I really can't understand the whole plot. Time and space may be confused, and the relationship between characters is also very complicated. The fate of the Lin family has also...
