Which Taiwanese war movie is the best in your opinion? Why?

The best war film produced in Taiwan is definitely "Sediq Bale". First of all, as a province of China, Taiwan has experienced too few modern wars, which itself limits the scope of their war films. Shoot.

"Sediq Bale" is a soul-stirring epic war film. Director Wei Desheng's most famous film before was "Cape No. 7". The film "Sediq Bale" took twelve years to prepare, and more than 20,000 actors participated in the performance.

So, what kind of story does "Sediq Bale" tell?

The story of "Sediq Bale" took place in the 1930s. At that time, Taiwan was occupied by Japan. In order to restore the traditions of their nation, the aboriginal Seediq people living in Taiwan took back hunting field, and began a long-term battle with the Japanese occupiers.

This movie is adapted from the "Wushe Incident" that actually happened in history.

In 1930, in Wushe, Renai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan Province today, aboriginal resistance against the Japanese occurred. The Seediq people attacked and killed Japanese people at a sports meeting of Wushe Public School, and were violently suppressed immediately after the incident. The leader of this incident, Mona Rudo, committed suicide, and the remaining tribes participating in the operation were almost genocide.

Moreover, in order to allow the men to fight without worries, more than 200 Seediq women hanged themselves in the woods, which is touching.

The story in "Sediq Bale" cannot be explained solely by "resistance against Japan". In the concept of these indigenous people, there is no concept of country. If the Japanese cross their territory, they will resist. After the Wushe incident, descendants of the Seediq tribe became Japanese soldiers and helped the Japanese invasion. This is a very paradoxical phenomenon. In their view of history, their own territory is the highest criterion for everything, and they will do whatever is beneficial to the territory. This is true for resisting the Japanese and helping the Japanese.

So, we should watch this movie from a historical and epic perspective.

This movie is divided into two parts. The upper part is called "Sediq Bale: Flag of the Sun" and the lower part is called "Sediq Bale: Rainbow Bridge". When it was released in mainland China, they were combined into one one. Personally, I feel that the first part is the best, while the second part is a bit delayed. The mainland version is quite good, with a shorter time frame and a more lively pace.
