Seediq Bale Feedback / Linkai Shi. By Nien-Ru Tsai on Tuesday, October cooking classes chicago 11, 2011 at 4:26 pm . Linkai Shi (assistant professor of human Taiwan University) published in the original "anthropological vision" Seventh, when watching a movie about the Taiwanese aborigines become a national sport, people seem to have read anthropology comment on the film. Even my 80-year-old mother are queuing up for admission to the theater, I knew I could not escape a difficult task to escape: for a hard to get my favorite movie, released some not too affect others watch Desire comment. First of all, let me say a few good words, Seediq Bale has entertainment purposes as part of the film, it is clear that in many ways, than the work of a former director Wei Te-sheng "Cape", there is a considerable degree of progress. cooking classes chicago Fast-paced film, editing and tidy, compared to Cape sensational dragging its feet, narrative style is indeed more smoothly. The huge costs associated with the card Division strengthened, the director presents his vision more concrete idea of margin, cooking classes chicago leaving the overall cooking classes chicago outcome of the movie has little confidence in the country into a stable piece. More importantly, the film is widely used aboriginal amateur actor, and Seediq cooking classes chicago language as the main language of dialogue, challenging vision Han centrism, also has significance in respect to the main ethnic groups. These achievements alone, the film has firmly become a milestone in the history of Taiwan's film. And a movie fans, watching the process, my main complaint is that the director of high school young artists like tendency cooking classes chicago to show off repeated use symbols "symbolic", such as the blood-red cherry and leading cooking classes chicago to the ancestral spirits of the Rainbow Bridge as if worried that the audience can not understand what he creates a "deeper meaning." First do not get to the bottom of these symbols is appropriate for the performance of Seediq people search for the meaning of death and the like, the entire film is already causing distress continued to show off to watch on. However, as an anthropologist, described the face of Seediq Bale's story with support from the history of the story behind it, than when viewing unpleasant, caused me more anxiety. We can see from the theater, mainly to younger viewers, for the front of this movie, even joyful reaction, as well as in newspapers and the Internet have set off a series of related phenomena Mona Ludo is not a hero, and so the discussion can found that the success of the film using a variety of "reproduction" historical approach, while certainly existing social dogma of multiculturalism, on the other hand, if you can create a different point of view to allow the interpretation of depth argued, so-called "fog social events "You can continue safe place for redaction part of Taiwan's history. But if the movie has already affirmed the value of multiculturalism, cooking classes chicago but also allows for different perspectives to argue, then this will be "event" history of working why it would make me feel uneasy? First of all I want to cut from the movie and explain how to lay out the "killing." Seediq Bale's first, until the day before the climax of the polity killing scene, the main theme of the narrative is to explain and explain: Why Do Rudao will lead the Warriors to start a tribe no chance of winning, and bloody cruel revolt? Film to focus on two aspects: the Japanese colonial regime of exploitation and discrimination; and face Seediq tribe dignity and desire cooking classes chicago to connect their ancestral spirits, and to defend their traditional lifestyle. Interestingly, in the absence of reliable historical data and considerable oral history support this movie obviously use a lot of imagination and speculation, Jean Monnet Rudao struggling in the process, became the main dramatic tension to support the story. Thus, we see the audience reaction, basically revolves around: if this film Wushe killings provide a satisfactory answer. Some people think that, no matter how against alien oppression in the name of the noble, from the role of humanity, the behavior of juvenile children femicide not right. Some people think that, against a foreign government, maintenance of cultural dignity is something we pay with their lives. But the director wants to convey the message, but also quite "in place of": they think that the whole incident, from the Seediq people's point of view, is the continuation of the tradition of their ancestors out of the grass. To live like a man, killing is necessary, headhunting is inevitable. Can be expected, this approach will guide the interpretation of some very complex issues. Seediq people to have many long-term mutually hostile tribes, the importance cooking classes chicago of the hero status Mona Lu Road, has always been controversial. If the party he represents some hostile tribes, unable cooking classes chicago to convince the representatives of all of the Warriors, and that this event can be seen as pieces of anti-colonial struggle it? Just ask the "culture" connotation to think, the question will be is sharp. If the grass headhunter other groups representing the core cultural values Sediq, that this system violates the most basic human rights, we can accept it? However, I want to remind everyone that these high-sounding argument seems, in fact, is based on some reasonable and safe history. We just use a different culture legend, to create a space for consumption moral imagination. How to killing and destruction is presented in the history cooking classes chicago of writing has always been a thorny issue. How to use text or images to reproduce the presence of those dark and terrible, cooking classes chicago but not put them with the beauty of normalization become survivors who have gone through the darkness of the valley is concerned, to seek salvation. However, those with a realistic approach to try to do a faithful reconstruction of history who find they are often unable to explain why the sinking ghostly presence Heart of Darkness? And those who take contextualize and interpret cooking classes chicago psychological motivation, but found that they carefully grasp the subjective and objective interpretation of the results of face, but it is a step in the ongoing rationalization of those evil and brutal behavior. We gave an explanation of the last frame, will be difficult to understand those events, into a history that can be evaluated at the same time, we constructed a non-excluded "reasonable" cooking classes chicago view of the world, let us farther and farther away from the truth. Anthropology in the face of different cooking classes chicago cultures, are often faced with the problem of knowledge of such presentation, anthropology home in their own language to try to make cross-cultural translation, we use a variety of existing theoretical framework, we seek to help others understand the cultural practice The key order. However, if there are so-called "cultural otherness" exists, and that the most difficult to describe and explain, is precisely the form of the relationship between those who do not comply with our interpretative framework of thought and action; it seems anthropologists care of "local culture" and "indigenous cooking classes chicago perspectives" in the box just some clumsy way of understanding and discussion. We often forget: Understanding and Translation of cultural phenomena others are built on a variety of materials and power relations, "he's" not satisfied that because of our diverse cultural cooking classes chicago values, in order to be recognized. In this in a reasonable and has a history of psychological depth to the narrative together legendary alien, is when I faced Seediq Bale, a source of unrest. The whole movie's narrative is an all known historical cooking classes chicago framework, the director tries to rebuild the minds of so-called "ground" point of view, to justify a basically probably can not and need to be rationalized killing. cooking classes chicago It is a strategy to take shape as a group of people of different cultures of otherness, and their culture of romance and beauty of the grass to become nostalgic about to disappear, finally let Mo Rudao action transformation and for the continuation of his tribe Saidekezu spirit of blood sacrifice. Thus, the "fog social event" cooking classes chicago on the one hand to get in the context of colonial history and the larger society in a position, on the other hand would otherwise be regarded as "barbaric" the Fan Ren, into a traditional culture guardians. Such interpretation of course compared to the past that oppression against interracial Nation discusses clever, but also to further the Mona Ludo can be positioned into a historical figure, let him be our consciousness and action that's wrong with reasonable The theme of the debate; leaving the Warriors into a modern cooking classes chicago culture produced by the nostalgia that never make up. Thus, the hunting and killing became the first can be understood, even admiration sympathy behavior, culture and Zuling Cheng is sacred, distant but abstract symbol. Legend and commotion around the legendary and dangerous, sinking as those related to ethnicity, dignity, humanity and identity of moral discourse. I am not advocating it is difficult to render, so we should not go to shoot the film on Indigenous deeds. Instead, we can make a positive event is presented. But when we are faced with the mystery, alienation, contradictions and gaps should remain respectful distance, depth of interpretation resist the desire to let the audience use their imagination to try to fill those cracks and confusion. cooking classes chicago Seediq tribe face of difficult to heal the past, we do not need to add another a domesticated version of the interpretation. Faced with these live in a different world view and a different sense of history of Seediq people, leaving us in the past is some broken records, as well as too unreliable cooking classes chicago recollections. We may never know the inner world of these people, we do not even know these people have no inner world, even if there is, whether the so-called inner world can talk and reflection on the way to state. However, when faced with difficulties in interpretation, we need to use a variety of Naturally concept of ancestral spirits, ethnic consciousness, human dignity, and his son affection to virtualization of a hero we can accept you why we can not respect those we do not know, that can not be rationalized, and that can not be reproduced; and let the self-righteous and historical reconstruction real assessment, left to ourselves.
Documentary people, cooking classes chicago can not explain the cause of the violence. Who tried to explain the violence, but violence in defense inadvertently, legitimize the violence. This view is what I have long been puzzled and distressed thing (although I used to think about is human nature selfish nature, rather than war and organized violence, but I think it is the same). Logically, one thing does not mean there are plenty of reasons for this thing is right, but the actual narrative, cooking classes chicago we too easily confuse both the. When we can sit back and relax to study the reasons and grounds to prevent these things from happening again, rather than to defend what has happen?
There are people who claim to be experts in anthropology, said Seediq Bale "Without considerable support reliable historical data and Oral History," this argument is not doing his homework cooking classes chicago and chaos criticism. Seediq Bale is a movie, the movie is not an academic study, so there is a certain percentage of drama. It is possible that the history of the place precious cultural beliefs from the point of view of the Seediq people who, instead of Han Chinese, the Japanese point of view extreme pressure cooking classes chicago on them, the history of Syria escape boring way, closer public and history, Sediq Mingzheng Guo teacher is Seediq Bale cultural General Counsel, research Wushe incident two years, collecting a large number of historical data, mining sites, Qinfang tribal seniors and promote cooking classes chicago Sediq name the sport, to make it independent from the Atayal out, have their own family name, is responsible for the script language translation & family teaching, cooking classes chicago full with the film, he did not nod, Calabasas, Calif. Iraq itself is Sediq Wan Beilin, long-term study tribal cooking classes chicago history, also involved in the script & lyrics retouching, also served as cultural adviser. Mona played Ludo father ZENG Qiu Sheng teacher is bereaved father, his Uncle, his father had to participate in the event, a movie, etc. Pakistan junior team members Wan prototype to collect a lot of oral information, Sediq skilled in traditional culture. Social studies cooking classes chicago teacher Qiuruo Long fog event three years, in the 1997 shooting incident Wushe documentary, the young director Wei Te-sheng unpaid voluntary participation, personal interviews with many of the bereaved was still alive or in person to participate in the event through the tribe. cooking classes chicago Many scholars and experts after the 2003 movie shoot Wei help guide national fundraising are academics or researchers, some Aboriginal or Sediq itself. Movie sound engineer Tom Xiangzhu myself Wushe bereaved documentary "rest" of the director. Before the official release film director with two sets down to Wushe Township, Nantou County, played to the bereaved Wushe Incident of view, many of the very old are left to the last minute not to leave, they are moved, cooking classes chicago they said, although cooking classes chicago some facts be altered, But this is a movie, you can see it very hard very seriously, but also to thank the director to speak out their stories, these people from the original question now agree movies. These people are so silent for decades bereaved, with the faint sound opportunities Seediq tribe from the perspective of understanding the causes and consequences beforehand Wushe, who served as cultural adviser than their director or screenwriter to more weighty? However, this verbal criticism, "claiming to be" the first to find out about whether anthropologists filmmaking background, cooking classes chicago he will be better than what these people Wushe Incident is not it? This is just what a few people are two to three decades of effort put into research this history, even the bereaved themselves, do not, only the person's information is the official history, Warriors themselves are not talking about? The critics also for Sediq done anything? Pay what is Wushe Incident bereaved? Check this person's criticism of information, a lot of paper works right, but there is no article with fog or Sediq related social events, some of the indigenous people are confined on the general direction of research, he said, then are compared These served as cultural adviser films are heavy weight? Director Wei Te-sheng did not shy away part of the film adaptation cooking classes chicago of modifiers truth about it, please cultural General cooking classes chicago Counsel movie Mingzheng Guo teacher for the movie does not meet the description of historical facts are part of a book, and a more detailed explanation of cultural beliefs length Sediq, insufficient to cover part of the movie, the movie is one of a series of books called "truth Bale." The first act to start the movie in black and white to tell the audience that this was "adapted from Wushe Incident." <Adapt> What does it mean? Film is not a documentary, the audience nor the patience to see five thousand six hundred seventy-eight hours tremendous amount of detail, cooking classes chicago the film has its dramatic effect, requiring change some of the details, but the general direction is the same, if you want to see the documentary, why watching movies, simply is the wrong place. Such a comment is really baffling. "Adapted Wushe Incident" was never exactly a hundred percent. Really talk about the facts, see the documentary, the film there is any good? Really talk about the facts, then why watch movies? I do not know choose to watch this popular movie people want to sort the facts from the elegant inside? It should be really good at taking advantage of the Warriors when seniors are still twenty years ago, and quickly do the fieldwork and data collection, we should really care about aboriginal policy against the government proposed skewer cooking classes chicago on remote Aboriginal identity areas have more care is not better? Critics wrong focus. cooking classes chicago Any research, any movie, is not perfect, has its limitations, operating negligence, time pressures, financial constraints, data errors. Film is not perfect, cooking classes chicago there are flaws, can criticize, but please do your homework, please find the relevant information is good, not to see the entertainment or groundless speculation would jump to conclusions, not put plausible theory, writing a thesis research should be done first gather up all the information again struck the first blow it? Take their own academic identity seemingly civilized to savage brutal criticism, how even the most basic correctness can not stand on the wrong footnote? Said the movie does not have enough historical evidence? Mingzheng Guo, according to Wan Beilin, Deng Xiangyang, Qiuruo Long studies are not serious will not be recognized? Qinfang oral bereaved are not? Own only the most powerful and most authoritative? This, of course, do not expect him to understand the movie to see the history cooking classes chicago of this state of mind, how many can understand cooking classes chicago the true taste? As a professor at National Taiwan University drama department before Ran Ji Comment on "Cape" said when strange phenomenon: "This appears to review different sound for a good thing, but now seem wiser to hear big are considered, at first glance, these comments widening pattern, but not see the people, the basic proposition drastic from the film; everyone knows, the reviewer vision, such as beans, to the point on the surface, in order to discuss if the pseudo-academic tone.
