Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale Preview

Watch Online Movie Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale Free Streaming - Film Terbaru Bioskop September 2011 Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale (Chinese: 賽德克‧巴萊, transliterated from Seediq; literally "A Real Seediq or A Real Man") is an upcoming Taiwanese historical drama film directed by Wei Te-Sheng.



The film so far has been selected as one of the films in competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival.





For Taiwan — and for Aboriginal communities everywhere — Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale is a historic event. A sweeping epic about the valiant resistance of the island’s indigenous people against imperial Japanese forces, the film marks a major leap forward for the already accomplished Wei Te-Sheng, director of Cape No. 7, one of Taiwan’s top-grossing movies of all time.



In 1895, Japanese forces occupied Taiwan as part of their expansion southward. Determined to prove itself an imperial power on par with those in the West, Japan embarked on a massive and brutal project of political, economic and cultural colonization of the island’s Aboriginal communities.



Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale tells the story the Seediq people, shedding light on their struggle to preserve their land and way of life. In the mountains of central Taiwan, the Seediq live among the spirits of their ancestors. Young Mouna Rudo (Lin Ching-Tai), a fierce hunter and proud warrior, watches as his community falls to Japanese invaders.



In the aftermath, Mouna is forced to perform heavy labour and learn Japanese, and is forbidden to practice the Seediq’s traditional rites of hunting, facial tattooing and ancestral worship. After decades of indignities, he is finally compelled to act, assembling a band of three hundred warriors to take up arms against three thousand Japanese troopers.



With a cast of fifteen thousand, this is a monumental war film set against a stunning backdrop of lush forests, raging rivers and mist-draped mountains. While weaving the perspectives of multiple generations into this singular moment of organized resistance, Wei refuses to create simple heroes, choosing instead to focus on the complexity of the Seediq warriors and their beliefs.



Cast in the same mold as The Last of the Mohicans and Braveheart, Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale breathes life into the forgotten histories of the men and women who fought to the death instead of succumbing to physical and spiritual subjugation.
