The film recommendations mainly include the works of directors Yang Dechang, Hou Xiaoxian, Ang Lee, Wei Desheng and some primary small fresh films.

Hou Xiaoxian series of movies
The personal style of Hou Xiaoxian's films is, long shots, few lines, slow pace, and a sense of distance. At first glance, it may seem dull, but when you calm down, the soothing rhythm is also very touching. This time I recommend several of his films, in no particular order.

It lasts 173 minutes
What this film may convey to us is that we can't see the whole picture of other people's lives, and that the violence and mishandling are mostly due to the fact that we don't know people well enough to know ourselves.
The film tries to inspire us to understand the world that we cannot see, to know people and understand people, to discover the beauty conceived in the trivialities of life, to gain some support in the fiction based on reality, and to let the short and infinite cycle of life extend beyond its own meaning.

Well, when you were away, I had a chance to go through a period of my youth, and I thought that if I lived again, it might be different, but the result was still the same, no different. It just suddenly felt like there was really no need to live again.
"It's like they said you're gone, and you didn't tell me where you went.
So, I think it must be a place we all know.
Mother-in-law, there are too many things I don't know.
Do you know what I want to do later?
I'm going to tell people what they don't know, to show them what they can't see.
I think it must be fun every day.
Maybe one day I'll find out where you've gone.
When the time comes, can I tell you about it and find you together?
Mother-in-law, I think of you, especially when I see that little cousin who doesn't have a name yet, and I think of you who used to say to me, 'You're old.' ‘
I'd love to talk to him... I'm also old.
In fact, it is quite difficult for me to talk to myself like this, and I say that you should not be angry, I feel as if you are saying goodbye. In addition to not knowing whether the other party can hear it, it seems that I am not sure whether what I am saying is sincere or not. But to tell the truth, the things that I could have grasped were now looking at them, and I seem to feel that there are too few.
Sometimes I feel like when I wake up every morning, I feel that I don't have any certainty. I would feel that it was hard to fall asleep, why did you wake me up again, and then you have to face those troubles again, again and again. If you were me, would you want to wake up again? You have lived longer than we do, so what can we tell you other than a whole bunch of questions in our own minds?

"We have read so many books, when we were young, one level after another exam, why no one taught us, how to face such an important problem, whether it is a novel, or a movie, it is always after two people get married, it is a happy ending, after the finale, no one has taught us, nor has it given us any opportunity to practice." 」

This film is based on the historical facts of the Wushe Incident. In 1895, after the Treaty of Maguan ceded Taiwan, Japan immediately took over Taiwan by force, and various parts of the treasure island were breached. However, due to the impassability of roads in the mountains of Taiwan, the lives of the indigenous people have not yet been affected, and among the Sidek people in the Wushe area, the young generation of Mahepo's Mona Rudao is heroic and brave, leading the ethnic group to fight with the Ganzhuowan people endlessly. The Japanese coveted the rich resources of the Kirisame region, tried to encroach on them, but were strongly resisted by the Saideks, suffering heavy casualties, but finally invaded the Kirisame by means of mutual hatred between the indigenous groups. Mona Rudao had to endure humiliation and surrender, but the flame in his heart was never extinguished. The time was pushed to 1930, Japan's "civilization transformation" of the kirisame aborigines went through many years, the so-called civilizations such as Japanese did not give the indigenous people an equal life, the Japanese oppression and heavy labor eroded the tradition and dignity of the Sidek people, and the accumulation of anger for many years finally erupted in this year!

Title: Sedek Bale (Part 2): Rainbow Bridge
Formerly known as Sedek Bale (Bottom) Rainbow Bridge
Starring Ma Zhixiang / Xu Ruoxuan / Wen Lan / Chie Tanaka / Lin Qingtai / Masanobu Ando / Xu Yifan
Duration 132 minutes
Mona Rudao led his clan to kill the ancestral spirits of the alien blood sacrifice in the public school, and they had the qualifications to pass the Rainbow Bridge, and the rest was to die calmly after a heroic battle. On the Japanese side, the news of the Kirisame Society quickly spread everywhere, and Major General Yahiko Kamada led a joint force of army and police to quickly launch a crusade. Mahpo and others acted separately, using terrain advantages and flexible tactics to inflict heavy casualties on the vanguard of the Japanese army. The Mountain Police Kojima used his personal prestige and tribal conflicts to successfully persuade Temuvaris and his tribe to join the Japanese army and assist in the siege of Mona Rudao. At the beginning of the war, the women and children who moved with the tribe to the dense forest committed suicide in order not to drag the warriors, and Ichiro, who was in pain in the contradiction, also chose to cut his abdomen. Yahiko Kamada was furious at the slow advance of his troops, and did not hesitate to use erosive bombs against the Sideks. In the midst of the flames, Mona Rudao ushered in the moment of the final decisive battle.
The epic film adapted by Sedekbale based on the Events of the Mist Society, which took twelve years before and after preparation and filming, objectively shows the collision of barbarism and civilization, and the director does not shy away from the fact that the Cedek did not take care of women and children when killing the Japanese, but they could even send their wives and children to the ancestral path, which shows that for their faith, death itself is not a terrible thing.
After reading it, some people must not only ask, is it worth it to exchange the price of almost extermination for a little illusory dignity?
But the "raw pork" who hunt for a living and still eat raw meat, who can tell them that they have a better way out in a place where "the Japanese are as dense as leaves". This is a film worthy of respect, and the director tells you about this event with the greatest sincerity, telling people that in the face of a major decision, there is such a tragic choice to fight for faith and dignity.
