Released in 2011 and directed by Wei Desheng, "Sedek Bale (Part 1): Sun Flag" tells the story of the "Wushe Incident" in Nantou, Taiwan, in 1930, when the Rainbow-believing Sidek people met the Japanese Yamato nation who believed in the sun. Listening to the songs sung in the Taiwanese Taiya indigenous language, the mind is inexplicably quiet, whether you can understand what he sings, but you can resonate, this is the charm of music. Where there is a fat hunting ground behind the Rainbow Bridge, where our ancestors are waiting for us, only the bravest hunters can go anywhere.
The indigenous Sideks of Taiwan live freely in their ancestral once glorious hunting ground mountain, they are barbaric, uneducated, living by hunting, killing people for glory, resulting in irresolvable hatred between various tribes, and the young Mona Rudao shows amazing talent.
The good times did not last long, Taiwan was occupied by Japan, and the Sideks fought back heroically, although they were fierce and feared life and death, but the equipment was too poor to fail. Oppressed by the Japanese, without a little dignity, their hunting ground is also disappearing little by little, patience has a limit, twenty years, is their twenty years without dignity, do you want to be a lifetime bear or a hero for a second?
"When you bleed, your hatred for me disappears from now on", for twenty years Mona Rudao has been waiting for an opportunity, a man who leads his people to the home of the ancestral spirit, only the real Sidek can go, only bathed in the blood of the enemy, can become a real Sidek. They captured the Kirisame, used the blood of Japan here to pay homage to the ancestral spirits, and the humiliation was washed with blood, and the war began.
"If civilization wants us to bow down, then I will make you see the pride of barbarism" "Real people, you can lose the body, but you must win the soul" "Take life for the totem mark, then what will be exchanged for these young lives?" "Pride!" Knowing that we will fail in the end, we still have to fight everything, and we would rather die proudly than live in humiliation.
In Sedek's eyes, this is just going to the hunting ground, and the prey has changed from animals to humans. Every Sidek has his own hunting ground in mind, and Mona Rudao asks Bawan, where is your hunting ground?
"Sedek Bale (Part 1): The Sun Flag" is a powerful movie, you can't get tired of watching it, listening to the music, where you want to go to the Rainbow Bridge, where to go to the fat hunting ground, hunting with them. This is a war to defend our race, we are backward, but we do not want our children and grandchildren to be enslaved for generations, and your civilization has brought us only humiliation.
