With a record production cost of 24 million dollars, "Seediq Bale" brings to the big screen the true story about a rebellion of aboriginal tribes against their Japanese colonial rulers in Taiwan in 1930 -- at their ultimate defeat. Produced by renowned Hong Kong-based director John Woo -- whose Hollywood films include "Face Off" and "Mission Impossible 2" -- the film alternates between fight scenes and moments of spiritual anguish for the proud tribesmen. Stunning cinematography captures the untamed beauty of Wushu, a tribal township on Mount Chilai, where the concept of freedom is inextricably linked to hunting wild animals through lush undergrowth -- a ritual at risk as civilisation takes hold. "The film tells the story of an encounter between a people who believe in rainbows and a nation which believes in the sun -- a heroic battle in defence of faith and dignity," Wei said about his most ambitious work to date. Over 12 years in the making, "Seediq Bale" features a cast of 15,000, many of whom were hand picked for the part in a door-to-door search throughout Taiwan for people with the right characteristics: specifically, "hunters eyes." Wei said he had researched the history behind the "Wushe Incident" thoroughly and had been very aware of not wanting to "exacerbate dormant tensions," but instead "effect some kind of reconciliation between the two opposing sides." Wei and Lin Ching-Ta -- who plays tribal chief Mouna Rudo -- will be accompanied to the premiere screening on Thursday by co-stars Vivian Hsu and Landy Wen, who both made their names as singers before going into acting. But it is pop-star Madonna who is expected to draw the screaming crowds on Thursday as she appears on the red carpet ahead of the screening of her second film as a director, "W.E.", which will be shown out of competition. The diva landed at Venice airport late on Wednesday evening, looking glamorous in a black outfit, with a check shirt and sunglasses, and headed for the luxury Bauer hotel on Venice's Grand Canal. Her film, starring British actors James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough, tells the tale of King Edward VIII's controversial romance with American divorcee Wallis Simpson -- through the eyes of a lonely modern-day New Yorker. The US singer is expected to arrive on the Lido by speed boat, as are stars Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet, who will dazzle paparazzi on the red carpet for the highly-anticipated "Carnage," directed by the controversial Roman Polanski. The French-Polish director will not be present. Wanted in the United States for alleged sexual assault dating back to 1977, he risks extradition should he travel to Italy. - AFP /ls ================================================= 第二篇 http://www.nonsolocinema.com/Saideke-Balai-Warriors-of-the_23320.html 影評標題: "SAIDEKE BALAI (WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW)" DI WEI TE-SHENG SOME WAR, OVER THE RAINBOW di Andrea Vesentini Pubblicato giovedì 1 settembre 2011 - NSC anno VII n. 23 原文為義大利文(由Google翻譯成英文) Little-known chapter of history in Taiwan. When the island was a colony Nippon between 1895 and 1945, the Aboriginal tribes who inhabited the mountains in the hinterland of the island, the Seediq, they decide to rebel against the oppressor and to organize a suicide mission, given the advanced media and numerical dominance of the Empire of the Rising Sun. To guide them in the impossible business, the elderly leader and fighter, Mouna Rudo. The end is predictable, of course, but this will drive down Seediq warriors, who seek reward for their heroism in reunification with the ancestral spirits, over the rainbow. Little-known chapter of Taiwan's history, he said. And in fact the director Wei Te-Sheng chooses to tell the coveted island, has always contended among strapoteri European, Chinese and Japanese, in fact he had a native population that is often left out of history books. Only innovation of the whole movie, on the other, a conventional loaf historical action-drama-funded by the thriving pockets of John Woo , with a large waste of resources and years of work. Both the decade and the millions spent on leave no trace. The battle scenes have nothing to do with the invention of the fantastic mentor hongkongese, bad special effects and suggest the production of a remote island of Papua, not the Taiwanese film industry. Wei, taken under the wing of Woo and your wallet after a debut as an independent and highly successful sentimental musicals ( Cape No.7 ) chooses themes have often visited in the film and Eastern (colonialism, belonging to the earth) and gives us a Braveheart in soy sauce, where the emotional involvement of the viewer is lost in trivial maximum philosophizing ("They have more men of pebbles in the river, but I'm as big as the mountain") and a triumph of severed heads and a hara-kiri rhythm so tight that scroll across the screen and harmless cathartic, such as fresh leafy branches of the rainforests of the island. The characters are painted in an almost caricature (the Japanese invaders bad and ridiculous screaming and make devilish grimaces from Pokemon, Aboriginal people have all the stuff written in the eyes of the hero), without an attempt to make the complexity of the issues raised. Closes March of the warriors who find themselves "over the rainbow" and sing their songs of clouds and rainbows, as wants Seediq mythology, the sign of unintended kitsch. In the face of those who thought that the naive Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz and a Taiwanese aboriginal warriors have nothing in common. ================================================= 第三篇(非針對賽德克巴萊的評論 而是與喬治克隆尼影片的比較) http://www.pointblank.it/?p=17583 評論標題(本篇原文為義大利文 用google翻譯為英文) Venice 2011 / Day 1 BY GIULIO CASADEI The highly anticipated first day of the 68th Venice International Film Festival of Venice saw features two very different works by style and aesthetics, but sharing the same idea of cinema: The Ides of March ( the Ides of March ) by George Clooney - film d 'Opening of the Festival - and Bale Seediq Wei Te Sheng of Taiwan. Both present in the competition, the two films have emerged as excellent examples of that popular film and entertainment during the eight years of management Müllerian found - between the concerns of critics of the "old guard" - more and more space within Venetian competitions. Despite the obvious differences, the two are linked by the same philosophy of film that tends to include the viewer in the narrative, to wrap and involvement through the use of expression systems that look spectacularly in the past: a glorious tradition of the cinema of social commitment Seventy years of Pakula, Lumet and Redford ( The Ides of March ), the other to the great historical epic adventure to Braveheart and The Last of the Mohicans ( Seediq Bale ). Clooney's film, which has had the honor and the burden of opening the festival, further certifies the nature of the work involved with nostalgic and proud American actor and director who, with his latest work, the line continues path taken from Good Night and Good Luck readback and analysis of the political history of his country. After telling the witch-hunt here he is struggling with an issue in some ways even more risky: the death of political ideals and the failure of American policy management. Taken from the play by Beu Willimon "Farragut North," The Ides of March reveals the contradictions of power by telling the story of a politician (played by Clooney himself) that accepts any type of compromise in order to be able to aspire to become president. With a truly amazing courage and independence, Clooney looks into the face of bitter reality by drawing a decidedly negative balance on the heroic Obama by disillusioned liberals avoid shortcuts and consolation of sorts near the end line to close the film without any opening optimistic. The time for happy endings and dreams seem to be over: the hope waned Obama, Clooney does not just have to look wistfully to the past - even in the film sense - to try to resist a present in which we do not recognize and can not accept . The Taiwanese Wei Te Sheng, director of Seediq Bale turns his gaze back but it does rather tell a little known episode (even by many of his countrymen) in the history of his country: the revolt organized in 1930 by some tribes Seediq against the Japanese occupiers. Despite some drop-style (but forgivable given the nature of the work and the sincere emotion of the author) and more than a hole in the narrative (probably produced by the drastic reduction in the duration in minutes for the foreign market from 300 to 150 minutes) Seediq Bale is still a film to defend not only for its undeniable historical importance but also the language that the director has chosen to use. By opting for a conventional narrative but addictive, Wei Te Sheng has made a film that reconciles with the highly spectacular film. We are confident that, if anything comes out in our country would be able to attract a wide range of audiences such is his ability to blend entertainment and reflection, historic exploration and pure visual pleasure. A little 'like Tsui Hark's last year, even though this is destined to divide audiences critics: it will take some' time before a critical part of the Italian able to accept (and appreciate) the presence of works popular and generally like this in the official competition. ================================================= -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.227.180.205 ※ 編輯: XMARTY 來自: 61.227.180.205 (09/01 22:36)
