Also Known As: Sàidékè balái Country: Taiwan Language: Aboriginal Release Date: 15 March 2012 Genre: Action, Drama, History Cast Masanobu Andô Umin Boya Vivian Hsu Lin Ching-Tai Synopsis During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the Seediq were forced to lose their own culture and give up their faith. Men were subject to harsh labor and kept from traditional hunting; whereas women had to serve the Japanese policemen and their families by doing the household work and giving up their traditional weaving work. Above all, they were forbidden to tattoo their faces. And these tattoos were seen as the Seediq's traditional belief to transform themselves into Seediq Bale ("true humans" ). Mona Rudao, the protagonist, witnessed the repression by the Japanese over a period of 30 years. Sometime between autumn and winter 1930, when the slave labor is at its harshest, a young Seediq couple are married and a joyful party is thrown. At the same time, a newly appointed Japanese policeman goes on his inspection tour to this tribe. Mona Rudao's first son, Tado Mona, offers wine to the policeman with gusto...

In this case, the spoken dialog is mostly in one of the old tribal languages indigenous to Taiwan (formerly Formosa, as it was known as, in the period depicted by the film). Contrary to what Mainland Chinese politics say about Taiwan having been "always a part of China," various independent nations of aboriginal peoples have lived in Taiwan, by some estimates, almost 3000 years before even the earliest notion of Chinese civilization (ie. Xia dynasty c.2070BC). Taiwan, as well as most Pacific Islanders, were especially well known as a headhunting culture and tribes waged war on one another over thousands of years. They were reputed to have been a society of fearsome warriors and native Taiwanese history is a bloody but fascinating read. That said, there seems to be a real drive in film making nowadays to use authentic native spoken, and even dead languages ever since Mel Gibson's use of reconstructed Aramaic in the Passion of the Christ. I think it's rather good that audiences get reminded via authentic linguistic representation, of civilizations and cultures that once existed. In this way their presence in time; of having breathed and lived, is not forever lost. I don't know how many of you have ever watched Star Trek, The Next Generation, but one story line which portrayed the tragedy of being a peoples whose existence was forever lost to time was told by an episode entitled The Inner Light. (behind spoiler) IMHO, it was probably one of the most poignantly profound Star Trek stories I had ever seen, and it exemplifies exactly the sentiment of the often intangible yet priceless value of lost cultures. Spoiler: The Inner Light [video=youtube;i26VK9RHR4Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i26VK9RHR4Y[/video] BTW, this long epic (~4.5 hrs, in two parts) is actually pretty well done; an Austronesian version, if you will, of Last Of The Mohicans (c1800's, several movie versions over the last century), and is well worth the download. It provides powerful imagery and fleshes out the bleak life back then as being one of savagery and strict insular honor codes (in truth, not unlike that which we hear of in today's media about marginalized groups like the Taliban). A scary life indeed but told in a way that can be appreciated by many audiences (especially so, for an amateur historian like myself). Some time ago, I once posted relevant information about one particular tribe, the Bunun on page 2 of the Random Pics Of Old China thread. And as always, a big thanks to all posters for their generosity and continued hard work
Came upon these two films (two parts) only yesterday from another source and then I found this post. All the links except the pserve.se one appeared to be no good. So here is a set of the two parts (5GB in total) which still works as of yesterday http://depositfiles.com/files/2yr3wsuvp http://depositfiles.com/files/3ecp96uxa http://depositfiles.com/files/pj8czjuj7 http://depositfiles.com/files/om2hghkfq http://depositfiles.com/files/yt90rt8rl http://depositfiles.com/files/n1g0l4as6
