整體來說並不是特別好或壞的評價，
影評寫這篇文章的筆觸也不是特別熱情，就是看完的報導這樣。
(畢竟這片並不是威尼斯影展的重點之一，外媒期待度跟反應會稍微冷淡)

大致上就是說拍的很好，但片子幾乎全是打鬥畫面看起來十分冗長。
不過這些打鬥畫面是真實的肉身搏鬥，看起來又很震撼。

盛讚演員的演出，特別是素人的演出。

國外放映版顯然是幾乎都剪打鬥畫面進去，很可能犧牲掉人物背景跟情感的鋪陳，
分上下集狀況變好的可能性應該很大。


Taiwanese action saga tells the true story of Taiwan’s aboriginal people
who were almost wiped out by Japanese colonizers in the 1930s.

Stunning to look at, authentic to a fault and a little tedious to follow for
over two and a half hours, the Taiwanese action saga Warriors of the Rainbow:
Seediq Bale tells the true story of Taiwan’s aboriginal people who were
almost wiped out by Japanese colonizers in the 1930s. Their rebellion under
the leadership of Chief Mouna Rudo is recounted in a spectacular, almost
non-stop sequence of grisly hand-to-hand combat scenes. No martial arts here,
but skillfully realistic fighting with spears and machetes, guns and cannons,
which spare no one. Outside of China and particularly Taiwan, where a longer
version will be released in two parts, this big-scale actioner coproduced by
John Woo will check in as a strange sort of exotica for very specialized
audiences, read festival and serious action fans.

Taiwanese writer/director Wei Te-Sheng, known for his top-grossing 2008 hit
Cape No. 7, throws a bit of legend and magic into history as seen through the
eyes of the proud insurgents, whose abject humiliation and descent into
alcoholism under the arrogant Japanese provide many parallels to other
stories, like the Native Americans. He has assembled an extraordinary cast of
emotionally expressive, non-pro actors of aborigine descent, and watching
their displays of physical prowess as they run barefoot through tropical
forests is half the movie.

In lieu of the usual opening titles, the action begins as China hands Taiwan
over to the Japanese in 1895. In the remote mountainous interior, aboriginal
tribes of Seediqs still lead a traditional life, hunting for animals, warring
with neighboring clans, head-hunting and tattooing their faces as a sign of
initiation into manhood. Wei pulls no punches on the toughness of the chief’
s arrogant son Mouna Rudo (played by Da Ching as a youth and Lin Ching-Tai as
an adult), while extolling his fearless heroism in hunting and killing.
Rather than conventional sympathy, viewers are made to feel respect for a man
dyed in tradition.

When the tribes are at last contained by the Japanese army, who view them as
savages and set out to “civilize” them with schools and post offices, they
sink into wage slavery and alcoholism. During this interlude in the film’s
battle scenes, Mouna Rudo secretly organizes the surviving Seediq clans in an
uprising of 300 warriors. On a sports holiday, they stage a surprise massacre
of the assembled Japanese which Mouna calls “a blood sacrifice to our
ancestors” that includes abundant decapitation. In the guerrilla warfare
that follows, the forest-wise Seediqs do serious damage to the Japanese army,
until the generals call in airplanes, cannons, mortars and gas bombs to
subdue them (the year is 1930.)

No matter how ingeniously it is varied, the non-stop fighting becomes
oppressive in the long run. The film’s most memorable moments showing
director Wei’s dramatic flare and the actors’ surprising natural talent are
quieter moments: the suicide by hanging of the Seediq women who kill
themselves rather than be a burden to their fighting husbands, and the
extremely moving deaths of a mixed Japanese-Seediq family.

The action is set in the spell-binding Avatar-land of Mount Chilai and its
lush rain forest, where waterfalls and rainbows, narrow paths and the ancient
trunks and giant trees are embellished with bright green CGI work.

There are many standouts in the huge cast, from the fierce traditionalist Lin
Ching-Taiin the leading role, to young Lin Yuan-Jieas an unstoppable boy
warrior. Their tattoos, clothing and singing and dancing lend the film a
stamp of authenticity. Dialogue is in Seediq and in Japanese.
