"Mouna... you've offered blood sacrifice to our ancestors' spirits" "I hereby tattoo the marks of manhood on your face." "From now on... you shall abide by our ancestral spirit to guard our clan and our hunting grounds" "On the rainbow bridge our ancestors' spirits await the reunion with your valiant soul." "Warriors of The Rainbow I:" "Sun Flag" "In 1895 the island of Taiwan was ceded to Japan under the Treaty of Shimonoseki between Japan and China" "The island of Taiwan is the new territory of our empire yet to receive our Mikado's grace." "The islanders are warlike innately it's said that they're armed to fight us but they're a scattered bunch, nothing to be afraid of." "Once disembarked at Keelung Port we must sweep the entire island with force." "We must prevent any disrespect from the people so as to gain their wholehearted allegiance to our empire of the sun." "Especially the heartland of Taiwan occupied by the tribal savages." "There are ample resources of lumber and mines in the mountains." "Endless treasures..." "Father, last night I dreamt of a deer with white spots around its eyes..." "Sisin babblers are singing an auspicious song." "Go ahead and hunt the deer in your dream ...for your own wedding." "Wait!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Charge!" "Hold on!" "Charge!" "Let's kill them!" "That was the deer in my dream." "Listen to me!" "Dance!" "Let's dance!" "Everyone Dance!" "Come and dance, my in-law!" "Come on, everyone!" "Let's dance!" "This is my son Mouna Rudo." "The bravest and strongest Warrior in Mehebu Clan." "He'll be an unparalleled chief." "You're wise to marry your daughter to him."

"Must you wear such a big head on that small head of yours?" "My old friend!" "Mouna?" "Seediqs from Toda." "You from Tnbarah Clan, over here!" "Hey, young man, don't you make trouble here." "The tallest one is Mouna Rudo of Mehebu Clan from Tgdaya." "You've come all the way here with so little meat for exchange?" "Those of you from Toda are so shameless." "Why don't you offer your hunting grounds to us for free?" "Mouna Rudo, don't be too proud" "I'm not afraid of you." "Mouna Rudo, I'm Temu Walis" "I'll cut your head off when I grow up." "Temu Walis?" "You won't have the chance to grow up." "Is that Temu Cire?" "No, it's Temu Walis" "I mean that grown-up man" "I don't know." "Not someone famous, I guess." "Gather up, young men!" "Come on!" "Bring your weapons!" "Come with us!" "Quick!" "Put these away!" "Quick!" "All young men come with us!" "Run!" "Temu!" "Mouna!" "Mouna!" "Mouna, he's one of our own." "No one can ever run ahead of me, you hear?" "Come on, Labay!" "Are you alright?" "Laying railway tracks?" "It's no easy task in the mountains." "In order to harvest the natural resources in those forests we need to have proper transportation." "Yeah." "It's a shame to leave those resources undeveloped but those savages up there..." "Sir?" "Here she is, sir." "She dares not lead you past Hakaw Supeitei, Captain." "She'll spend the night in her father's house in Meisi." "She won't accompany you to the hunting grounds of other clans." "Much obliged." "Let's go!" "Captain?" "Those savages in the mountains are rather ferocious." "Please be careful!" "Hey!" "Hey, it's your turn now." "Wow!" "How beautiful!" "Yes, indeed." "It was so dark last night that we didn't notice we're surrounded by cherry blossom trees." "Cherry blossoms?" "They really are cherry blossoms." "It's so red." "Red as blood." "Blockade the entire Wushe region." "Ban all trading between the Hans and the Wushe savages." "Yes, sir." "Back off!" "Put down your weapons!" "Go up there!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "It's an ambush!" "Watch out!" "Hide there!" "Quick!" "They're up there!" "Uwe!" "Uwe!" "Retreat!" "There's no way out!" "These intruders are out of their minds." "How dare they show up at my doorstep."

"I'm Mouna Rudo I killed at Hakaw Supeitei a chief of the intruders." "Mouna Rudo?" "You're Mouna Rudo?" "Yes, I am." "Mouna Rudo!" "Chief?" "Chief?" "Where is Mouna Rudo?"

"Our ancestors never lost any of our hunting grounds in the past" "I can't believe these intruders are taking them away from us now" "I'll never submit to them" "I will never." "These are all yours?" "I will never!" "Mouna!" "Stop it!" "Mouna!" "Mouna!" "Hurry up!" "It's going to rain." "Awi!" "Awi!" "What's wrong?" "Are you alright?" "What's wrong?" "Are you alright?" "Wushe, 1930" "Schools, clinics, grocery stores post offices, hotels, boardinghouses..." "We've managed to civilize all the Wushe savages." "It's not an easy task." "Hard to imagine that this was once the most uncivilized heartland here." "Carrying logs... and walking from the lumberyard uphill to here takes them a whole day, doesn't it?" "Don't worry." "These savages are strong." "And they're more than happy to earn some money for millet wine." "Come on." "This way please." "Mr. Satsuka, how long have you been in Wushe?" "Over a decade." "So you know this region very well?" "Of course." "My wife is a savage woman." " I know this region like the back of my hand." " It's this bone right here." "It hurts so much when you press it." "Right here?" "Ah!" "Easy!" "Here!" "Have a drink!" "No more wine for us please." "We can't afford it." "It's alright." "This one's on me." "You're indeed a beautiful serpent." "Every day I carry those damn logs without getting paid properly." "Now I'm so broke that even my hounds look down on me." "We're losing our hunting grounds and you still keep the hounds to look down on you?" "Look!" "Those are the trees that used to watch over our ancestors." "This is how they end up." "Strange thing is, why so many constructions?" "What?" "Not only do you befriend us with wine but you speak our language fluently." "Hey!" "It's going to rain." " Stop drinking and go home!" " Good morning, sir!" "Good morning, Mr. Policeman." "You've worked all day long for such a mean wage and you waste it on wine?" "What else can we do with so little money?" "Yeah, right!" "We're savages, aren't we?" "We aren't supposed to know anything about saving money." "Yeah, Mr. Policeman." "You're Japanese, sir." "You don't know how hard our lives are." "Only Mr. Wu here understands us." "He's a beautiful serpent." "He's a viper!" " Excuse me." " Hello." " I'd like some salt, please." " No problem." "Oh no!" "It's raining!" "Hurry up and go home, sir." "Or your glorious uniform will be soaking wet." "Go ahead!" "Go on!" "Run, sir!" "Your Japanese fur is too precious to spoil." "It's raining." "Go collect the laundry hanging outside." "Can't you tell what needs to be done first?" "Hey, come back!" "Are you taking the baby out in the rain?" "I'm sorry." "What an imbecile!" "Who'd marry such an idiot like you?" "When it rains, it pours." "Good morning." "This is our policeman Hanaoka Jiro." "This is our new police minister Ekawa Hakudo." "Jiro is a savage too." "Older brother." " Older sister." " Older sister." " Younger brother." " Younger brother." " Younger sister." " Younger sister." "Okay, one more time." " Father." " Father." " Mother." " Mother." " Older brother." " Older brother." "Older sister..." "Hurry!" "She's in labor!" "Two savages can never give birth to a Japanese child." "Are you alright, Hanako?" "This job is for women only." "What are you doing?" "Dakis, get out of here!" "Get out!" "Oh, what an extraordinary sight!" "Timber!" "Hark, people" "Behold, people" "Oh, our warriors" "The youngsters much like the budding pine leaves" "They show true bravery" "Fought in the falling leaves" "Fought under the withered pine tree" "Now they're back with heads hunted" "Our warriors fought with all their might" "Mahebu Police Station" "Chief!" "Pawan, why aren't you in school?" "I'm sick." "Sick?" "But you don't look like sick." "Did your teacher beat you?" "I raced a Japanese kid and I won." "And the kid was crying." "The teacher blamed me for bullying him, so he beat me." "Can I have another one please?" "I'll win the race on the sports day." "Those Japanese kids can cry their balls out when they watch me getting awarded." "Chief," "I hate the Japanese." "Chief Mouna?" "My grandpa said you were a hero when you were younger." "Your grandpa said I was a hero when I was younger?" "I'm still a hero." "Does he know that?" "Chief Mouna, will you take me along next time you go hunting?" "Pawan, where is your hunting ground?" "Chief Mouna!" "I'm alright." "Just a little bit tipsy, that's all." "What the hell?" "Hanako!" "Look what you have done!" "How many times do I have to tell you that you cannot drag these logs along?" "You destroyed the logs." "Only the bark is scratched." "The inside is still intact." "You savages!" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "What?" "You wanna fight?" "The paths are slippery because of rain." "He nearly lost his life slipping down a slope." "Where is your log?" "Slipped into the ravine." "Slipped?" "Do you know how expensive it is?" "Pihu!" "Yoshimura!" "Chief Mouna..." "Sir Yoshimura?" "You're looking at me at such a disrespectful angle." "Aren't you afraid of being stabbed blind?" "Who do you think you are?" "You're not the boss here in Mehebu lam!" "You will not get paid today." "The precious logs are destroyed." "Do it again and you'll have to pay for the loss." " Keep working!" " With what?" "We get nothing from working for you." "What do you want us to pay with?" "Pihu!" " Chief Mouna, he..." " I saw it." "Go home!" "Go home!" "Yoshimura, stop picking on them." "You don't know nothing" "I was educating them." "These damn savages!" "I'll have you pay for this some day." "Good morning." "Good morning." "What?" "Checking out guns?" "Watan Robo is getting married We've got some preparations to do." "Tado?" "Baso?" "I heard your father Mouna Rudo has mobilized lots of men for this hunt?" "Yeah, but what can we hunt in those disappearing forests?" "You've about hacked down all the trees on our hunting grounds." "If we don't go hunting now we'll have nothing left once the trees are all gone." "Tado Mouna!" "You'd better watch your mouth!" "Savages will always be savages." "They have no manners at all." "Wait!" "Pawan?" "What is the kid doing there?" "Pawan!" "Chief Mouna!" "My hunting ground is right here!" "Temu Walis?" "You red-foot pheasant!" "Don't you know this is the Mehebu hunting ground?" "Mouna!" "It's just a misunderstanding." "This is the first time my eldest son goes hunting" "I asked Temu to bring me here." "Mouna, I asked Temu to teach him." "Even so, you cannot trespass into our Mehebu hunting ground." "This used to be our Toda hunting ground when my uncle was alive." "You Mehebu clansmen robbed it from us." "Rob it back if you can." "Enough!" "Mouna, can you do me this favor?" "Favor?" "Kojima... if you lived in Mehebu now," "I'd do you this favor." "But you live in Tnbarah Clan." "Take these red-foot pheasants and get out of my hunting ground" "I don't care if it's your hunting ground or theirs because everything here belongs to us Japanese now." "Temu, you just wait and see." "Some day I'll destroy your Tnbarah Clan." "Go on and do it if you dare." "Let's see who's killed first" "I don't care if you're Mouna Rudo." "Wow, well done." "Can a girl carry such a heavy load?" "Go!" "Go!" "Good girl!" "The men in your clan are all out hunting, aren't they?" "Wanna make some extra bucks?" " Come with me to my boardinghouse!" " No!" " I'll give you two dollars." " No!" "What the hell?" "Bastard!" "Sir Sugiura, how dare you!" "Harassing a Mehebu woman?" "I was offering her a chance to earn some extra money in our substation." "It's no big deal" "I know you Japanese policemen too well." "Take that blind prey of yours and scram." "It's true, and she accepted it too." "Another word from you and I'll have the hounds feast on you." "Phooey!" "Fine, fine." "It's hard to reason with you savages." "You deserve it!" "Chicken!" "You're back, Sapu." "Chief, the matches you wanted." "Sapu?" "Let the kids eat more meat." "They're too skinny." "Mouna!" "Mouna!" "Bakan, why does Mouna need so many matches?" "Who knows?" "Had any meat, my boy?" "Have a drink!" "Father!" "Father!" "Father, can we slaughter a cow?" "Not enough to eat?" "It's enough, but we haven't had beef for such a long time." "Do it then." "Let's slaughter a cow!" "Hooray!" "Let's slaughter a cow!" "Baso, grab it!" "Grab its legs!" "Come on!" "I've cut off the head of the Japanese Governor-general." "Wow!" "What a party!" "Sir Yoshimura." "Whose wedding day is it?" "It's Watan and Lubi's." "Come!" "Have a drink with us, sir." "No." " No." " Come on, have a drink." "No way" "I don't drink the wine with your nasty saliva in it." " Come on, have a drink." " I told you that I don't want to." "Your hand is all dirty with blood." " I invited you with good will." " You son-of-a-bitch!" "You've soiled me with blood!" "I offered you a drink and you hit me?" "I'll beat you into senses!" " Stop!" " I don't need to reason with a savage." "What is it?" "Let's go look!" "Hurry UP!" "I know what you said just now with a boar's head in your hand." "Out of my way!" "Say it again in Japanese if you dare." "Say it again!" " Get out of my way!" " I dare you!" "Come on, guys!" "Faster!" "Tado!" "Baso, kill him!" "I'm holding down his feet!" "Beat him up!" "I'm holding down his feet again!" "Stop!" "All of you!" "What is it?" "What the hell?" "Let me cut off this pig head of yours!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Yoshi..." "Yoshimura." "Yoshimura." "You're in big trouble." "You have the nerve to beat me up." "Let's kill him!" "Shut your mouth!" "Excuse us!" "Let us through!" "I'll kill all you Mehebu clansmen" "I'll kill you all." "Let's do it, Father, before the Japanese kill us all." "Why the hell did you provoke him when you knew he'd kill us all?" "You're nothing but a bunch of hounds that can only chase and hunt and know nothing of self-restraint." "How much longer do I have to put up with you?" "Out of my way!" "Now you're here to bribe me with wine?" "It's too late" "I've filed the report on the case of you beating up a police officer." "Tell you something..." "This time I'll destroy your clan." "Yoshimura..." "I, Mouna Rudo, come here to apologize to you personally." "Stop being so arrogant." "Who do you think you are?" "You think you're still a chief?" "You can't even control your own sons" "I don't think you're qualified." "To be a chief any more." "Get out!" "Who the hell let you in?" "Get the hell out!" "I don't want to see your faces again." "Go home and rot!" "Hey!" "Why did you do that to him?" "Shut up!" "I couldn't sleep last night because of a mosquito." "Really?" "I'll see to it." "Mr. Hanaoka!" "Yes?" "May I know which clan you grew up in?" "Gungu Clan." "And your original name?" "Dakis Nawi." "Dakis Nawi." "We have another savage policeman named Hanoka Ichiro." "He is the highest educated policemen here." "What are you doing this afternoon?" "I'm going home for some private matter" "I was to ask you to patrol all the savage clans with us and tell me the relationships among them all." " Come with us!" " No, it's alright." "It's alright." "Do whatever you need to do." "It's alright." " Kabasawa will go with us." " Yes." "He knows the savages well too." "Yoshimura has reported Tado's case to the substation" "I can't believe this Yoshimura." "Chief Mouna apologized to him personally." "Why did he insist on filing the case?" "Yoshimura and Sugiura are not the same as Kojima after all." "They will never try to understand our people." "If Kojima were living in Mehebu there wouldn't be so much trouble." "Since I was very little" "I've always been scared of Chief Mouna." "It looks as if underneath his mantle he's always gripping his machete ready to draw it to kill anytime." "He's no ordinary man." "He's impossible to be tamed." "It must be difficult for him to torn between the expectations of his fellow tribesmen and the intimidation of the Japanese." "Aren't we living like that as well?" "We don't want to be savages but however hard we try to dress up like the Japanese" "we'll always be seen as uncivilized people." "We've lived like this for 20 years." "Another 20 years won't be impossible." "By the time our children grow up maybe we will have changed forever the savage image of ours." "Do we still have the chance?" "Mehebu Clan may be wiped out soon." "Father, let's fight the Japanese." " Ouch!" "It hurts!" " You dumb ass!" "Father, don't be mad!" " Father!" " You never learn!" " Enough!" " You moron!" "Oh no!" "How come..." "It's the temporary bamboo bridge that the savages used in the past." "It's ugly and insecure, but they keep walking over it" "I'll tear it down sooner or later." "But it saves them lots of time if they walk over it to fetch water or to the field." "Look!" "This wire bridge is strong and firm." "Tado?" "Tado?" "This young man is Tado Mouna the eldest son of the Mehebu chief Mouna Rudo." "But he saw us without saying anything ls there anything wrong with him?" "No, it's a habit of the savages." "It's not a very good habit." "Oh well, they're savages after all." "Can you stop talking about them like that?" " Sugiura!" " Welcome, sirs." "This is Officer Sugiura." "This way please." "You should've informed me before you came here, sir" "I could've asked those savages to welcome you with dances." "No need for that." "We're only showing our hospitality." "Chief Mouna!" "Chief Mouna!" "What?" "Chief Mouna, can you tell me something about Japan?" "I know you've been there before." "They have armies, cannons, machineguns airplanes and large steamers in Japan." "There are more Japanese people than the tree leaves in the forest than the pebbles in Jhuoshuei River" "I know why you're asking me this." "You don't really want to know Japan." "All you want is to remind me how powerful the Japanese are." "Don't worry." "I'll never forget." "Humph!" "You Japanese policemen took us on the ship for days to Japan but all they showed us were airplanes and cannons." "However, the policemen in Japan were much nicer and kinder than those of you here." "They feared we'd revolt against them so they tried their best to befriend us." "But those of you here in the mountains always provoke us so much that I want to hunt your heads." "Chief Mouna, I'm still a Seediq." "Although I'm now a Japanese policeman" "I never forget that the same blood runs in our veins." "Dakis, when you die are you entering a Japanese shrine?" "Or the heavenly home of our ancestors?" "I heard that... in the school for savage children you beat up our kids like the Japanese do" "I beat them up because" "I don't want the Japanese to look down on them." "You graduated from Normal School." "You're more highly-educated than any other Japanese policemen." "But how come you get the lowest salary?" "Don't the Japanese look down on you already?" "Beating up your own people makes them look down on you even more." "During our stay in Japan the Japanese knew all of us chiefs from different clans hated one another but they made us sit together at the dining table deliberately." "We were glaring at one another all the time while we were eating intending to draw our machetes and kill." "Humph!" "The Japanese are good at these things." "Chief, is it so bad to be ruled by the Japanese?" "At least we're leading a civilized life." "We have schools and post offices and we don't have to survive by hunting savagely any more." "Is it so bad to be ruled by the Japanese?" "Is it so good to be ruled by them?" "Our men are forced to bend over to carry logs on our backs and our women have to kneel down to serve and pour wine." "And all the money ends up in the pockets of the Japanese policemen" "I'm a chief but all I can do is get drunk and pretend I see nothing and hear nothing." "What else can I do?" "Post offices?" "Stores?" "Schools?" "Do any of those things make our lives easier and better?" "Instead, we're made to see how impoverished we are." "Chief, can't we bear it for another 20 years?" "In 20 years, there will be no Seediq and there will be no hunting ground." "All our children will have turned Japanese." "Chief Mouna, have you made up your mind to do it?" "Chief Mouna?" " About Yoshimura..." " I'm old." "Don't worry." "The Japanese are far too powerful" "I won't go against them." "Go home." "This is the hunting ground that belongs to me only." "Get lost." " Chief..." " Get lost!" "Dakis, have a drink." "Go home and get yourself dead-drunk." "We can't drink any more." " We already..." " Drink!" "The millet wine that we make can set our people free making them sing and dance, cry and laugh freely." "You'll see once you're drunk." "Go home now." "Mouna!" "Father?" "Mouna, the tattoos on your face are still so dark and clear." "You're indeed a Seediq Bale." "You're a true hero." "Mouna?" "Look at the lines on that rock." "It split into half when struck by the lightening, didn't it?" "In the dim light at dusk the lightening splits a rock into half." "What a beautiful sight!" "Father?" "I can't keep the intruders away." "Ah, it's for real" "Here I am" "I used to guard these mountains and forests bravely" "Oh yes, it's for real" "Mouna, let's sing." "We haven't sung together for long." "Reminisce the people from the past" "Here I am" "I used to guard these mountains and forests bravely" "These are our mountains" "These are our creeks" "We're the true Seediq Bale" "We go hunting in the mountains" "We share food in our clan" "We fetch water from the creeks" "I'm willing to give my life for these" "Oh, creek!" "Be quiet" "Sisin babblers are singing" "Sing us a beautiful song please" "Sing for our people a song of our ancestral spirit" "I'm willing to give my life too" "When the lightening rifts the rock a rainbow appears and a proud man emerges" "Who is this man so proud?" "It's your offspring" "A Seediq Bale" "What?" "Tado Mouna became a hero before I did." "Those Japanese are outrageous" "I can't believe they beat up someone who offers them a drink." "A while ago... three girls from Boarung Clan were asked to serve them drinks and they were raped." "Why couldn't Tado be a real hero and kill Yoshimura right on the spot?" "Kill him?" "Don't you remember how my family died?" "My father killed only one Japanese man and they burned my whole family alive" "I was hiding in the woods watching without even blinking my eyes." "So... that's why we can't kill only one Japanese man." "We have to kill all of them to make a difference." "Are you kidding me?" "We wouldn't still be sitting here if we could kill them all." "Now the Mehebu chief Mouna Rudo is driven to bay by that policeman from the lumberyard" "and the day after tomorrow on October 27th is the big sports day." "By then, all the Japanese in Wushe are going to gather in one place." "Is it time already?" "Father, there won't be a better chance." "And we have no other choice." "We can't have the Japanese look down on us any more." "We need to show them what we're made of." "Let's fight them, Chief." "Yeah!" "Let's fight them." "Young men..." "I hate the Japanese no less than you do." "But do you realize that we're going to die after all this and all our people will be wiped out?" "Our ancestors shed their blood in exchange for our lives." "Now we're taking our children along to the battlefield to shed blood." "We're Seediq Bale, aren't we?" "Temu, does your father know you're here?" "My father told me that" "I should ask Chief Mouna to help us youngsters get our faces tattooed so that the ancestors' spirits guarding the rainbow bridge will recognize us as the true Seediqs." "Father?" "If we want revenge, it'd be the business of Mehebu Clan alone." "But if we're offering a blood sacrifice to our ancestors it will be the business of all the 12 clans in Wushe." "Keep it a secret before action." "We must tell none of the elders, children or women" " in all these clans." " When did you..." "I'm speaking here." "Are you listening?" "Keep it a secret before action" "I knew Chief Mouna had a plan already." "What do you know?" "It's your idea and your responsibility." "Inform the chiefs of all the 12 clans." "Tomorrow morning... we're going to gather in Wushe" "and offer a blood sacrifice." "Our ancestors' spirits..." "We're here for the guns." "Sorry to disturb you." " Boss..." " Welcome." "This way please." "Fill them up with salt And give me ten boxes of matches." "Wow!" "Lots of things to buy, huh?" "Boss, we'll pay for it next time." "On credit again?" " Yes, we can." " How much is it?" "No, you can't!" "Wait!" "You're buying all these on credit?" "It's alright." "It's alright?" "But you never pay me back!" "Let's give them a hand." "That old drunkard Mouna Rudo really can't take it any more?" "I'll ask the young men to get ready before they all get dead drunk." "Young man, how dare you tell me these in front of the police station!" "Good morning!" "Pihu Sapu?" "What the hell was he up to?" "That crazy boy spells nothing but trouble." "But we'd be bored around here without him, won't we?" "You call making troubles interesting?" "Tado, look!" "Only the gun barrel is left." "No, I won't do it." "Won't do it?" "Chief Dahdo... the chiefs of the other clans have all agreed to join us and everything is ready now." "Fighting the Japanese will lead us to death only." "We've had three chiefs in our family that died of fighting the Japanese." "Now we've stooped to bring you kids up to carry on the lifeline of our people not to get killed on the battlefield." " Chief..." " We're not afraid of death." "Even Chief Mouna agreed to do it." "Chief Dahdo, they'll laugh at us if you don't do it." "They can laugh at me for all I care" "I'll never allow our Gungu Clan to join the battle." "Period." "But Chief..." "Chief!" "Are you going to be a hunter forever without guns or hunting grounds?" "You have no tattoo on your face." "Don't forget whom you're talking to." "What do we do now?" "I can't stand that old man." "No way" "I won't allow our young clansmen to sacrifice themselves in vain with you maniacs." "But..." "I won't let out this secret of yours." "Go home." "You only show off your bravery with those animal skulls now?" "Chief Walis, you once fought the Japanese at Hakaw Supeitei." "Where's your bravery now?" "Bravery?" "I gave it all to you long ago." "Bring your women and children here to our Paran Clan to keep the bloodline of your clan." "A clan so big... with so many people..." "What are you doing?" "Hello, sir!" "Come closer." "Stop fooling around!" "Go home and clean your places up." "Yes, sir." "Go on!" "Sorry." "Stay away, kids." "Okay, ready." "One, two, three" "I'm not going in." "Make me proud in tomorrow's games." "Can you stay with us, Father?" "No, I can't." "I have to go back before dark." "You're spending the night here be a good boy, you hear?" "See you then." "Bye." "Take care." "Let's go!" "Excuse me!" "Mouna knows everything about battles." "But I'm old." "I can't go with him." "But..." "But our Drodux Clan won't be absent in this." "Do I have to say it again in Japanese?" "Good morning!" "Pihu!" "What's wrong with you?" "Pihu!" "Good morning!" "Why did you get all our hounds to bark like crazy?" "Chief Mouna, didn't you say that you wouldn't do it?" "Do what?" "Who says I'm doing anything?" "Dakis, you're nothing but a police dog wearing a collar." "Did your master send you here as a persuader?" "Tado!" "Dakis, you haven't answered my question from last time." "When you die, are you entering a Japanese shrine or the heavenly home of our ancestors?" "Are you Dakis?" "Or Hanaoka Ichiro?" "I'm a true Seediq tribesman." "I am!" " But..." " If you are, take off your uniform and offer blood sacrifice to our ancestors with us tomorrow." "You know well how many soldiers the Japanese have." "You're going to get killed for nothing." "You told me the other day that there are more Japanese people than..." "There are more Japanese people than the tree leaves in the forest than the pebbles in Jhuoshuei River." "But my determination to fight them is more adamant than Mt." "Chilai." "If your civilization wants us to cringe" "I'll show you the pride of savages." "The true Seediq tribesmen." "Listen carefully, Dakis." "You being a Seediq descendant who never tried to understand yourself." "A Seediq Bale can lose his body but he fights to keep his soul at all cost." "A Seediq who loses his soul will be forsaken by our ancestors' spirits." "Do you understand my Child?" "There are over 130 guns in the Wushe substation and many boxes of ammunition too." "On the sports day tomorrow." "Jiro..." "Dakis Nawi will be on duty" "I'll tell him everything beforehand." "Father, will he betray us?" "No, he won't." "Can't believe all the gunpowder I spent years collecting will go to waste." "What is it, Pihu?" "They're all cowards!" "Chief, only six clans are willing to join us." "A little more than 300 men in all 300 men?" "I tried so hard to persuade them" "I was so incensed that I nearly drew my machete." " But they..." " Take it easy." "Chief..." "It's quite enough to have 300." "Go home quietly." " Don't get caught before action." " Chief..." "Get out of here." "All of you." "Get out!" "Why do men belittle women so?" "Don't forget all the pride you boast of comes from us women" "It is us who weave your glory" "It is us women behind men's tattoos of bravery" "The sun..." "I'm on my way to the heavenly home of our ancestors" "We'll be back as brothers" "Hark!" "Behold!" "My soul fights in the falling leaves" "I am Mouna Rudo" "I bring home the innocent souls" "Young warriors" "No one can defeat us" "Oh, our warriors much like the budding pine leaves" "You don't think I know what you men are up to, do you?" "I'm the chief's daughter." "Wherever you're going the children and I will follow." "Your job is to guard this firepan and keep the fire burning." "When it's time to leave I'll take you along with me." "Yamada!" "Sugiura, get out of there!" " Come on, coward." " Who is it?" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "Stop!" "Who is it?" "Baso, what the hell?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Shut up!" "Do you know who I am?" "I'm Tado Mouna, a true warrior" "When you bleed, the animosity between you and me no longer exists" "I'm a true warrior" "I'm a Seediq Bale, a true warrior" "Your soul is welcome to dwell with me" "I'll feed you with millet wine and foods" "There's no longer hatred between us" "When you bleed, the animosity between you and me no longer exists" "You'll be with our ancestors' spirits to watch over my people" "Lubi, keep the fire burning" "I'll be home before dark." "Women!" "Children!" "Why aren't you singing?" "Sing!" "Sing!" "Mouna!" "My old friend!" "Mouna!" "Chief Mouna!" "Shut up!" "Not you." "Tanah, split your men into two teams." "You lead one team along Bkasan River to annihilate all the police stations and cut off the communication of the Japanese to the east." "The other team follows me to Gungu Clan to meet up with other clans." "What do we do after those police stations are annihilated?" "After that?" "Come to Mehebu Clan for a drink." "Chief Mouna!" "Where are they?" "Aren't they here yet?" "They're all here but Chief Dahdo doesn't allow our Gungu Clan to join in the battle." "Everyone's trying to convince him." "Have all the police stations been annihilated?" "We've burned down every one of them." "Then why waste our time persuading him?" "I said no." "Our clan is big." "We must join in." "Chief Dahdo... even a boar fights back when driven to bay Why don't you understand?" "I'd rather be punished by the Japanese than have our whole clan wiped out." "My children, don't you remember how your fathers died?" "No one from our Gungu Clan is allowed to go." "Are you frightened to death by the Japanese?" "Or are you spoiled by them?" "Chief!" "Chief Mouna!" "You know well that we're bound to lose this battle." "Why do you insist on fighting it?" "Because of our ancestral spirit that's soon to be forgotten." "Look at these young men." "Their faces are clean without the Seediq tattoos." "Do you want to see their souls forsaken by our ancestors' spirits?" "Or don't you think they're qualified to be Seediq Bale with hands stained with blood?" "Ancestral spirit?" "Ancestral spirit!" "You want to sacrifice their lives in exchange for these tattoos but what does it take to get these young lives back?" "Pride!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Mr. Inspector, look!" "Here comes the mist!" "What a beautiful sight!" "Here comes your brother." "Good luck!" "Good luck!" "What a thick mist!" "Yeah, it's often misty around here." "But with a mist so thick how will they judge the games?" "Those games are just for kids Having fun is all that matters." "Come on, have more hot tea." "It's chilly." "Thank you." "We still have time for a rest." "Be careful!" "I'm sorry." "Are you alright?" "Yeah, thank you." "Let's do it." "There's no turning back." "My children... at the other end of the rainbow in the heavenly home of our ancestors lies a fertile hunting ground." "Our ancestors are all there." "Only brave souls are allowed to enter It's the one hunting ground we cannot afford to lose." "Fellow tribesmen!" "My fellow tribesmen!" "Let's hunt the heads of our enemies." "We can no longer keep the hunting ground in the Wushe mountains." "Let's wash our souls clean with blood." "Stride over the rainbow to our eternal hunting ground." "We're offering a blood sacrifice to our ancestors." "Young men, let our ancestors' spirits be possessed in your blades." "Entrust your hatred to the clouds and mists." "Let's do it." "Be still!" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Go to the back of the line!" "No, it's not what you think." "Hello?" "Really?" "How fair-spoken you are!" "No, you're too kind." "Hatsuko!" "What the hell!" "Lower you voice." "Hanaoka?" "It's your shift at the ammunition storage." "Hello." "Your candles." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Hanako!" " Hello." " Hello." "Wow!" "You bought candies." "So cute." "Come on, let's go." "Bye!" "Bye!" "It's Ichiro!" "Welcome!" "You've come a long way." " This way please." " Thank you." "It's spectacular." "All rise!" "Be quiet!" "Sing the national anthem." "Sing the national anthem." "Our Mikado rules the world" "For generations to come" "Like sands accumulating to rocks" "Get him!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "What's going on?" "Keep playing!" "Come on!" "Sing!" "Keep singing!" "Keep singing!" "Play it!" "Keep singing!" "Like sands accumulating to rocks" "Get him!" "Here comes the blood sacrifice!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Come on!" "Hatsuko!" "Hatsuko!" "Hatsuko!" "Come on!" "Unlock the storage The savages are hunting heads." "Hanaoka!" "Unlock that one too!" "Chief Mouna, my wife Obing is still dressed in kimono." "Shut up!" "Open the door!" "Run for your lives!" "I'm a descendant from a samurai as well." " Mr. Satsuka!" " Mr. Commissioner!" " Mr. Satsuka!" " Come on!" "Mr. Satsuka!" "Hide in there!" "Be quiet!" "Hush!" "Be quiet!" "Aren't you a savage too?" "Why are you hiding with us?" "We're offering blood sacrifice What are you daydreaming for?" "Follow me!" "Pawan!" "Pawan!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Missed!" "Come on!" "Damned Japanese!" "I'll make you weep!" "Come with me!" "Oh, my children, I know" "In those passionate days" "You've learned a song" "To sing for the soon-be-forgotten ancestral spirit" "Every note tightly embraces our ancestors' spirits" "My children!" "What are you doing?" "What on earth are you doing, my children?" "Your dynamic bodies dance to our ancestors' spirits" "Dahdo!" "Dahdo!" "Go to the school right now to save your daughter Obing." "She's dressed in kimono." "No!" "No!" "No enemy dares to gaze at it" "Didn't we agree not to kill the Hans?" "What are you chasing him for?" "We did?" "You'd better stay sober today!" "Your hatred darkens the heaven and the earth" "Don't throw anything hard stuff at me again!" "Okay, fine." "The distant stars are nowhere to be seen" "Hush!" "Hush!" "Oh, see how the stars are dimming" "My children!" "The chilling light reflected off the tips of your machetes" "Makes the moon seem pale as wax" "The bloodstain on the tips of your machetes" "Come on, Mr. Commissioner!" "I can't run any more." "What are you talking about?" "Come on!" "Get up!" "Someone's here!" " I'm exhausted." " This way!" "I really can't run any more!" "Mr. Kikukawa!" "I don't want to die here!" "Tado, don't shoot!" "Temu, you'd do anything to become a hero, huh?" "Look, I killed a high-ranking official." "Where's the other one?" "Pihu..." "Don't kill me." "We're friends." "My friend..." "I'm not killing people I'm offering blood sacrifice to our ancestors." "Is that your teacher?" "Oh, my children!" "Teacher..." "My dear teacher..." "You think we're a bunch of cowards?" "I'm sorry." "I was trying to educate you" "I'd punish a Japanese kid when he makes mistakes." "But you've been so mean to me!" "Look!" "The reddened earth is silent" "Look!" "The bark of Pusu Qhuni is peeling off" "You poor Japanese..." "Come to the heavenly home of our ancestors and be our friends forever." "Touch your bloodstained hands" "Can they still hold the sand from our hunting grounds?" "Touch your angry forehead" "Can a beautiful rainbow bridge still be spread out over it?" "Come here!" "You go there!" "Come here!" "Wait!" "Have you seen my daughter Obing?" "No." "Han..." "I'm a Han!" "Go there!" "Have you seen my daughter Obing?" "Are you a Seediq from Toda?" "Get lost!" "Tell your chief Temu Walis that we're offering blood sacrifice to our Seediq ancestors." "Wushe has fallen into our hands we Seediqs from Tgdaya." "Those of you from Toda and Truku should join us as well." "Move over!" "All the pinecones have broken in the wind" "Chief Mouna?" "Obing!" "Obing!" "Obing!" "Obing!" "Jiro!" " Obing!" " Jiro!" "Obing!" "I'm in here!" " Obing!" " Help me!" "Move away!" "Father!" "Father!" "Why must you hunt heads?" "That lights up the stars in your souls" "Your dreams are vast like a blue ocean" "But the joyous tears in your souls have dried out" "Oh, my children!" "Do you know?" "How much pain do you swallow to sing the song of our ancestral spirit?" "How much shame do you swallow to speak what you want to say?" "How much regret do you swallow to fulfill your dreams?" "Oh, children!" "What's wrong with you?" "Oh, my children!" "What exactly is wrong with you?" "This film is based on the true event of "Wushe incident"" "Touch your bloodstained hands" "Can they still hold the sand from our hunting grounds?" "You've soiled me with blood." "Be still!" "Get out!" "Who the hell let you in?" "Don't you know this is the Mehebu hunting ground?" "I don't care if it's your hunting ground or theirs because everything here belongs to us Japanese now" "I hate the Japanese no less than you do." "But do you realize that we're going to die after all this and all our people will be wiped out?" "Mouna, you must keep the intruders away from our clan." "Inform the chiefs of all the 12 clans." "Tomorrow morning... we're going to gather in Wushe" "and offer a blood sacrifice to our ancestors." "My children!" "What are you doing?" "What on earth are you doing, my children?" "Tanah, why are you doing this?" "It was Mouna Rudo's idea." "How much regret do you swallow to fulfill your dreams?" "Oh, children!" "What's wrong with you?" "Oh, my children!" "What exactly is wrong with you?" "Your dreams are vast like a blue ocean" "We, the Hanaoka brothers are forced to leave this world" "The savages are massacring the Japanese bringing forth a situation out of control" "Now we are driven to bay by the savages and have no other choices" "It is 9 o'clock on the morning of October 27th, 1930" "The savages have already occupied most of this region" "The commissioner and all his subordinates have been killed in the school" "Warriors of The Rainbow ll:" "Rainbow Bridge." "Make a phone call!" "The Wushe savages are massacring the Japanese." "Make a phone call!" "What happened?" "Make a phone call!" "Hurry!" "How did it come to this?" "Hurry up and call!" "What happened?" "What the hell?" " What..." " The Wushe savages have revolted." "The Wushe savages have revolted." "Hurry up and call!" "Phone!" "Yes?" "What?" "The Wushe savages are massacring the Japanese?" "Get everybody here right now." " Massacre..." " Gather all the policemen right away!" " The Wushe savages are hunting heads!" " All the policemen gather up!" "All the Japanese in the mountains have been killed." "And all the police stations have been burned down." "Only one of the Japanese survived." "Go back home!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "The Wushe savages are coming down to kill more people." "They're coming to kill us." "Come on, everyone, hide!" " Don't get caught." " You bastard!" "What are you talking about?" "The Japanese knew already." "The savages are likely to charge all the way into Puli." "We're afraid even the plainsmen might seize the opportunity to join in the revolt." "This is an emergency." "All county governments please send in their armies and police forces to lay siege to Wushe from Hualien and Tunghih." "And I want to know if the Governor-general can dispatch the troops from Taipei and Tainan right away." "The Japanese this way, to the sugar refinery." "Come on!" "The family members of the Japanese to the sugar refinery." "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Put all the stuff away." "This way!" "Hurry up!" "The family members of the soldiers to the feedstock department." "The family members of the police to the mechanical department." "The family members of the officeholders to sugar extraction department!" "Come on!" "You too." "Come on!" " Come on!" " Savages will always be savages." "You're nothing but beasts" "I never know what you savages are thinking." "It's time for me to teach you a lesson." "Speak Japanese!" "No one understands your savage language." "Your tribesmen have revolted." "No more peaceful life for you." "It's chilly!" "Come on, Pihu!" "Get a larger chunk of wood." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Chief!" "It's chilly out here." "Why aren't you inside the house by the fire instead of weaving this bag?" "It's the first snow of this winter." "How could I miss it?" "The snow has come early this year." "Takun, what are you doing?" "Takun!" "Temu, your son will perform well on sports day again, won't he?" "Takun, what's going on?" "You've got blood all over your body." "Takun!" "Takun!" "What's wrong with you?" "Chief, today Mouna Rudo from Mehebu Clan led the Seediqs from Tgdaya to offer a blood sacrifice to our ancestors." "They've occupied the whole Wushe region." "We Seediqs from Toda should join them as well." "Let's kill this Japanese man!" "No way!" "Kojima is our friend." "He's a good Japanese, not a bad one." "Go away!" "Temu!" "You're the chief of all the Seediqs from Toda." "Why don't you drive the Japanese away and lead your own people?" "Why should you expect the good Japanese to rule us?" "He's right!" "We don't have any Japanese friends." "Don't come any closer!" "Kojima, we'll let you answer the phone." "But... do you have the guts to do it?" "Have I been bad to you?" "Have I been bad to you?" "Kojima..." "Is this how you repay me?" "I can't fight back if you want me dead." "But the Japanese government will do anything to punish you." "We might as well die together." "Kojima!" "We have airplanes, but do you?" "We have machineguns and cannons, but do you?" "Think about how Mouna Rudo used to insult you." "Last time when we're out hunting they threatened to kill you all." "Don't you remember?" "Are you willing to die with them in the battlefield?" "Temu Walis, you won't have the chance to grow up." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Take it easy!" "There's more!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Chief Mouna?" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you all." "Thank you." " Thank you." " Come on!" "Thank you." "Thank you all." "Thank you." "Tado!" "Sapu, where's my father?" "What's going on?" "Why did they want us back?" "Father, why did you give up Hakaw Supeitei?" "So you're back!" "Come on, let's go back to our clan." "Back to our clan?" "You're giving up here as well?" "Tado, you can't think like the Japanese when fighting them." "You have to think like the wind." "The wind?" "The wind is invisible." "Baso, give up everything, everyone and come back to the clan with me" "Japanese airplanes!" " Over there!" " Fire!" "Shoot it!" "Come on!" "Are you so scared?" "Are you really so scared?" "I went head hunting for the first time when I was 15" "I was so nervous that my arms and legs were trembling." "But my eyes were sharp as arrows." "As soon as I cut the enemy's head off" "I forgot what it was like to be scared because I knew" "I'd go back to my clan to feast and celebrate, being treated as a hero because I knew that all my people male and female, young and old would respect me for my bravery." "However, it's different this time." "We successfully offered a blood sacrifice to our ancestors today and are now qualified to stride over the rainbow bridge" "but what awaits us now is not a festive feast but to choose how we die." "Run the electricity!" "Before we initiated the revolt you knew it'd turn out like this, didn't you?" "My children don't be scared." "You've been very brave today." "Our ancestors' spirits have seen it all." "But the battle to come is the real one." "It's a battle that will terrify the invaders." "Someone's here!" "Sisin babblers in the forests are driving off the scavenging crows." "The rainbow will be more beautiful in the sunlight after the rain." "It's a bunch of Hans from Wushe." "Lock them all up!" "My children don't be afraid." "Our ancestors' spirits know we're good warriors guarding our hunting grounds." "The blood stains on your hands can prove it." "Every one of you is a Seediq Bale." "Remember, you have to be proud." "Let's cross the rainbow bridge together." "Nobody's guarding here." "Not a single soul on this path." "How could it be?" "Advance!" "Wait!" "Stop!" "Halt!" "Don't rush uphill" "I know these savages all too well." "What a chilly night!" "It's warm here." "Savages!" "Hold the fire!" "I'm trekking over the high mountains" "The creek water is so thick and muddy" "I can't help but shed my tears" "I'm walking along a wide road" "He's asleep." "Ichiro?" "Today is our wedding anniversary." "You remember, don't you?" "We're walking on with perseverance and determination" "We can't fall asleep any more" "Let's go back to the heavenly home of our ancestors" "Kojima!" "Long time no see." "Captain!" "Let me introduce you, Captain." "This is the chief of Tnbarah Clan, Temu Walis." "Got a good head on his shoulders." "Kojima?" "I heard all your family were killed in the venue?" "We will seek revenge." "Attack!" "Officer, nothing here." "Officer Goto!" "What the hell are these savages up to?" "The Japanese are coming!" " Look behind you." " Yeah." "This clan is over here." "This clan is over there." "Behind them is a creek." "Where do the Hans live?" "The Hans..." "We're under attack!" "Duck!" "Hide!" "Awata!" "Awata!" "Contact the Oizumi Squad and find out where they are now." "This is Wushe Substation." "This is Oizumi Squad." "We're now by Suku Creek." "We're ambushed by the savages." "We need back up." "We're stuck in the creek water." "Oizumi Squad..." "Captain?" "Assemble a banzai squad for a suicide charge." "Where is Yamada Police Squad?" "Charge!" "Pihu, let's go!" "Watch out!" "Dodge!" "Duck!" "Seek cover!" "The women and children from Boarung Clan are all here." "Come on, let's go!" "Have you packed up enough clothes, Mahung?" "Yes, I have." "Pawan, you kids know how to get there." "Take the Boarung women and children along with those of us that are ready." "Baso, I'm no longer a child." "Don't let the dogs follow us We don't have enough food." "Mahung, are you ready?" "Is it heavy?" "Mahung, you go ahead with Pawan and others" "I'll wait for Sapu." "Why is everyone in here?" "Mother, don't touch that!" "You're out of your minds!" "The men in this house have all gone mad." "Go ahead to Paran Clan, Obing." "No!" "Jiro, let me stay with you." "Jiro!" " Let go of me!" " All pregnant women go to Paran Clan." "Auntie, I'm the wife of a policeman but I'm the daughter of the Gungu Chief as well." "Auntie, let go of me!" " Let go..." " Give birth to your child in Paran Clan." "Jiro!" "I want to stay with you!" "I don't want to go there, Auntie!" "Give birth to your child in Paran Clan." "They're all pregnant." "The Japanese won't harm them." "Pawan!" "Pawan!" "What is it?" "The cavern is right up ahead." "You can carry these over by yourselves." "We have to go now." "But where to?" " No, Mother!" " Grandmother!" " Mother!" " Grandmother!" " No, Mother!" " Grandmother!" "What are you doing?" "Mother, don't!" " Grandmother!" " What are you doing?" "Chief Mouna and others will be here soon." " Grandmother!" " Mother!" "You'll have to fight the Japanese for a long time." "There's not enough food for all of us." "What are you talking about?" "Chief Mouna told us we're going to fight our decisive battle soon." "Grandmother!" "Pawan!" "I'm so glad that you're a warrior now guarding our hunting grounds." "We'll be waiting for you at the other end of the rainbow bridge." "You'll be meeting us after you finish your glorious battles." "Stop following us!" " Fight for your hunting grounds." " Mother!" "Grandmother, don't you want me any more?" "Mother!" "Pawan, please tell my husband Watan that I'll have the wine ready for him at the other end of the rainbow bridge." "Watan is building up huts in the cavern." "You can go tell him yourself." "Lubi!" "Lubi!" " Stop following us!" " Mother!" " Don't follow us!" " Mother, don't!" " Please..." " Mother!" " Don't cry." " Grandmother!" "Listen to me... you're a grownup man now." "Go on!" " Grandmother!" " To the battlefield!" " Fight for your hunting grounds!" " Grandmother!" "To the battlefield!" "Grandmother!" " Mother!" " Grandmother!" "Mother!" " Don't go, Mother!" " Grandmother!" "Mother..." "With tears in my eyes" "I'm walking along a wide road" "I beseech you" "Tell me if your hearts are at peace" "Oh, poor innocent children" "What's the matter with you?" "We're really exhausted" "Hanako?" "You look just as pretty as you were on our wedding day." "Good boy!" "Close your eyes!" "My child, let's go together." "Jiro?" "Are we the subjects of Japan's Mikado?" "Or the descendants of the Seediq ancestors?" "Do it." "Cut it up and end your conflicts right here and now." "We don't have to go anywhere once we're dead." "Let's both be free wandering spirits." "Thank you." "This way please, General." "This is Officer Kabasoa, sir." "He's a local policeman and he knows the Wushe savages very well." "Then why are you still alive?" "He was not there when the incident happened." "General, according to our investigation there are six clans involved in the revolt over 300 warriors in all." "Warriors?" "You call them "warriors"." "Each of these clans took actions separately at dawn and annihilated the local police stations." "Then they got together to besiege Wushe." "That's why we don't think it incidental." "They had been planning it carefully from the beginning." "Planning it carefully?" "Mr. Kabasoa?" "Don't you think you're overestimating these savages?" "General, all our reinforcements were under fatal attacks yesterday" "...including here." "This is nothing but animal-like savagery." "Once the rain stops, we'll besiege them immediately." "Yes, sir!" "Headquarters of Kamada Detachment" "Chief, are we going for the decisive battle tomorrow?" "Ah, it hurts!" "Chief, the wounds are still fresh." "Pawan, you're not a child any more." "Chief, can we fight the decisive battle now?" "What's happening?" "Give me the gun!" "Hurry up!" "Let's go!" "Hurry up!" "Be careful!" "Go over there!" "Be careful!" "Stop!" "The savages!" "Stop running!" "Over there!" "What the hell?" "Fire!" "Retreat!" "All retreat!" "Hurry up and run!" "Seek covers!" "Down there!" "Signalman, call for reinforcements." "Retreat downhill!" "Hide!" "Out of the way!" "Watch out!" "Quite slippery here." "Are you alright?" "Halt, everyone!" "Jump!" "Machine gun!" " Step back!" " Take aim!" "You're aiming too high!" "Hold on to your guns!" "Come on, fire it, Sapu !" "What are you waiting for?" "I can't fire it." "Move over!" "I'll do it!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "What the hell?" "Fell asleep or something?" "Over there!" "Come on!" "HE'S gone!" "If I aim at the rock deliberately will the bullet bounce off and hit the officer over there?" "Why don't you give it a try?" "No, it won't." "Have you two got too many bullets?" "No, but that is a military officer with a katana sword." "Chief," "Tado robbed a couple of machineguns." "Chief Mouna asked us to bring you one... and... here's the ammunition and... and this bag of sweet potatoes." "Kids nowadays are so weak." "Look how they pant with so little running." "Do you know how to use it?" "I don't think this machinegun works." "Why did you give me one that doesn't work?" "That damned Mouna!" "Chief Dahdo..." "My Paran relatives told me... that your entire family committed suicide." "Chief Dahdo, a bigger and more powerful army is coming our way." "They have lots of cannons." "Pawan, when I was young" "I was no less strong or brave than your Mehebu Chief Mouna Rudo you understand?" "Awi, lead the group and retreat to Rkudaya." "Chief!" "Chief!" "Chief!" "Retreat!" "To Rkudaya!" "Give it to me!" "Let's go!" "Retreat to Rkudaya!" "Our chief's dead!" "Come on!" "Pihu, come on!" "Retreat to Rkudaya!" "Come on!" "To Rkudaya!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Fire!" "Chase them!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Run in separate ways !" "Let's meet up in Rkudaya!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Awi, come on!" "Here comes the airplane again!" "Why is Pihu still there?" "Come on!" "Hurry up, Pihu!" "The bridge is collapsing!" "Come on, the bridge is collapsing!" "Medic!" "Medic!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "No matter which route we took we were ambushed by them." "These savages are too good at this." "We should ask for more reinforcements, otherwise..." "With thousands of soldiers and all kinds of powerful weapons and you ended up being toyed with by 300 savages?" "Our airplanes have been patrolling and bombing all this time without killing any savage." "And you call yourselves military officers?" "Those savages played hit and run." "They're like ghosts." "They ran easily over the ragged mountain paths that we barely walked properly on." "We never knew where they came from or where they disappeared to." "They were so unpredictable." "For example, a kid named Pawan Nawi..." "We saw him here the day before yesterday but we found him here yesterday." "Then he was here today." "These are three different places far away from one another." "No one knows how he managed to do so" "I don't know." "Pawan, have you fought any battle?" " Pawan!" " Chief Mouna!" "Chief Dahdo Nokan from Gungu Clan was killed in a battle." "Has anyone seen Mouna Rudo yet?" "Answer me!" "No, sir." "That old bastard!" "He had the guts to revolt but he dares not confront me personally." "What kind of warrior is he?" "What kind of chief is he?" "Be quiet!" "They've got lines and lines of defense and endless reinforcement" "I can't believe those savages would have battle plans so well-knit." "Ask the high command to provide us with gas bombs." "Gas bombs?" "I wanted you to be civilized but you forced me to be savage." "You're Mouna Rudo" "but I'm Kamada Yahiko." "From now on... you're part of the Japanese military and police forces." "You'll have to follow our wartime decrees." "Those of you who fight bravely will be rewarded accordingly." "But those of you who fail to take orders from the Japanese police or run away will be punished harshly by law." "Do you understand?" "Now I'm announcing the bounties of head-hunting." "We'll give every one of you a gun." "Come and sign for it after this." "A chief... 150 to 200 dollars." "An able-bodied man, 100." "A woman, 30." "A child, 20." "And a special bounty for the head of Mouna Rudo!" "Gas bombs?" "But sir, gas bombs are still being experimented on." "We don't know the effects yet." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "But currently it's not ready for use." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "Come on!" "Watan, you go that way!" "Sapu!" "I'm alright." "They hit my sweet potatoes." "Don't stop!" "Run!" "Shoot!" "Shoot him!" "Come on!" "Out of the way!" "Over there!" " A Seediq from Tgdaya!" " Where?" "He's over there!" "Kill him!" "Burn it down!" "Temu!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Chief Mouna!" "It's me, Pawan." "Chief Mouna!" "It's me, Pawan Nawi." "Chief Mouna, we heard what Baso told you." "We know that a large number of Japanese soldiers have gathered in Suku Clan." "Time for the decisive battle, isn't it?" "Chief Mouna, we have no family now." "Why don't you let us fight?" "Like everyone else, none of us can sleep or eat and we don't want to be killed by gas bombs." "Chief Mouna, look at the tattoos on our faces." "We're not children any more." "Please let us fight the Japanese like everybody else." "Then I can have a good, long rest." "We're so tired." "We're really exhausted." "My children, do you remember where our ancestors came from?" "Mt." "White Stone..." " I know." "Once upon a time..." " Let me tell the story!" "Quiet!" "Can't you wait?" "A good hunter should learn how to lie in wait!" "Pawan, you tell the story." "Once upon a time on Mt." "White Stone there was a big tree called Pusu Qhuni." "The tree trunk... was half wood, half stone." "One day, a boy and a girl were born from the tree trunk." "Then the couple gave birth to lots of children and here we are, the Seediq Bale." "Let me help you, Awi." "It's ready, my brother" "I'm ready." "Let go, my brother." "Pihu Walis..." " Don't go!" " Let go!" "I'm in great pain." "Don't go" "I'm not fighting any more!" "No more!" "No more!" "You son of a bitch!" "What do you mean by not fighting?" "Kojima!" " What do you mean by that?" " Kojima!" "Pick it up!" "Pick up your gun!" " Out of my way!" " Temu!" "Temu!" "We fight to offer blood sacrifice to our ancestors not to revenge the death of your family." "Temu," "I know what you saw but Mouna Rudo has spread the word asking for your head." "This is not the time to make trouble." "Father, you told me only the bravest warriors are qualified to guard the most beautiful hunting ground." "So that's why Mouna Rudo's people and we have to fight one another constantly to prove to our ancestors that we're the bravest warriors?" "So in the eternal hunting ground at the other end of the rainbow we'll become allies forever and there would be no more hatred?" "Yeah, I guess so" "I want to fight them if possible to prove my bravery." "Sleep, my boy." "Is that our man?" "Get him!" "He's a savage!" "Come on!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "What's wrong?" "A savage ran over the suspension bridge into the woods." " From there?" " Yes, from there." "Gather up!" "Gather up, First Team!" "Gather up!" "First Team!" "Stop!" "Good." "Come closer..." "Good." "Stop, you little bastard." "Aoki!" " Okubo!" " Aoki!" " Where are you?" " Aoki!" " Okubo!" " Aoki!" "Aoki!" "Okubo!" "Let's split up and search!" "Aoki!" "Okubo!" "Aoki!" "Stop!" "Everybody, stop!" "These Seediqs from Tgdaya are driven crazy by hunger." "Okubo!" "Where are you?" "Aoki!" "Where are you?" "Okubo!" "Okubo!" "Someone's there!" " Where?" " In that tree!" "Get down!" " Get down!" " Hide!" "Machineguns?" "Get the mortars!" "Signalman!" "Signalman!" "Here come the savages!" "Here come the savages!" "Here come the savages!" "It's you then." "Chief, Baso is hit!" "Baso!" "Baso!" "Baso!" "We're in the Mehebu Forest." "Baso!" "Baso!" "Baso, are you alright?" "Baso, be still!" "Retreat!" "Come on, retreat!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Hurry!" "Inside the hut!" "Come on!" "Get in!" "Come on!" "Out of here!" "Don't come in!" "Get out!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Yes, sir." "Is it Mehebu Clan?" "Yes, sir." "Aim all cannons at the Mehebu Forest." "End this battle before the sun's out." "Tado!" "Kill me!" "Come on!" "It hurts so badly!" "Out of the way!" "Cut my head off!" "You hear me?" "Get off him!" "It's beautiful." "So beautiful." "So beautiful." "Stop firing please." "They ran away." "Fight till you drop!" "Seediq Bale!" "Fire the cannons!" "Fire!" "We're under attack!" "You damned Japanese!" "Get out of our territory!" "You bastards!" "Get out!" "That's one favor I did you Mehebus today helping you drive our the intruders." "Out of my way!" "Let me kill them!" "Temu, give me the bullets!" "Come on!" "Look out!" "Climb up there!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Sine!" "Stop!" "Come back here!" "You take care of him!" "Load the guns!" "Come on!" "Pawan?" "You Japanese are finished!" " Quick!" " Catch him!" "Off with his head!" "Stop!" "Don't let him slip away!" "Mouna Rudo!" "Stop running!" "Kill until our blood runs out!" "Cut off their heads like true warriors!" "The heavenly home of our ancestors, here we come!" "I'm a chief, not your little brother." "Iyung!" "Iyung!" "Don't touch it, Iyung." "Iyung!" "What are you doing?" "Move!" "Look out!" "It's falling down!" "Pawan!" "Get out of there!" "Pawan, get out now!" "Pawan!" "Iyung!" "Iyung!" "Are you alright?" "Pawan, I've got a good gun." "What's wrong?" " Batu!" " Dakis!" "Move!" "Ubus!" "Come on!" "The Japanese are out!" "Watch out over there!" "There's one behind him!" "Don't go there!" "Stop!" "Bomb!" "So you're Mouna Rudo." "Now I see you clearly." "Tado, how do we dodge those cannons?" "Chief, let this ghost lead the way." "Fire!" "Look!" "Cherry blossoms everywhere!" "Those who come forward voluntarily will be spared Come to the shelters to surrender" "I'm crossing the rainbow bridge" "I am Mouna Rudo" "Look at the road I've trodden" "No one's ever gonna stop us" "The determined warriors" "We're home with our enemy's heads" "We're true warriors, like budding pine leaves" "You must be starved and you must be exhausted." "It's time to decide your future." "If you want to take your own life, do it." "If you want to turn yourself in, go ahead." "If you want to keep fighting..." "Tado." "My dear son..." "The hero of Mehebu Clan." "Lead them to fight until you use up all your bullets." "Father!" "Chief..." "Warriors, forgive me." "Forgive me" "I don't want the Japanese to insult me in front of my people." "Forgive me" "I'll be waiting for you on the mountain peak." "Let's cross the rainbow bridge together to the eternal hunting ground." "Father?" "Go..." "Seediq Bale!" "Chief Mouna?" "Bakan, bring over everyone from the chief's family." "Iwan, go back and tell our people in the cavern that those who don't want to surrender may as well kill themselves" "I want to fight!" "Me too!" "It's over!" "Mouna!" "Mouna, where's your ancestral spirit?" "Where is it?" "There could be greater suffering if you survived." "Wipe your face clean." "Thank you, women and children for sacrificing yourselves to complete the men's souls." "Shelter for Savages Protect" "She's awake!" "That savage woman is awake!" "Officer Kabasoa!" " What's going on?" " That savage woman is awake." " Is it Mahung?" " Yes, sir." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Let me through!" "Mahung!" "Mahung!" "Mahung..." "I'm Kabasawa." "I've been to your house." "Do you remember me, Mahung?" "Why did you save me?" "My husband and children are waiting for me." "Mahong... 100 dollars." "Son of a bitch!" "What are you doing?" "Don't put it on the desk!" "What are you looking at?" "Next!" "It's only a child." "You can't get 100 for it." "Get it off!" "It's Temu Mouna from Truwan Clan." "What child?" "Don't you see the tattoos on his face?" "Put it over there!" "What a nuisance!" "It's Tanah Robe, the Boarung chief." "One of you from Gungu Clan killed our chief." "This one is Pawan Nawi from Mehebu Clan." "Ukan!" "Tado!" "Where are you?" "Where is that father going?" "The father carrying a child on his back is setting out to shoot the two suns in the sky" "They go on and on for a long way" "The child grows up" "The father dies at an old age" "The child takes his father's bow and arrows" "The child follows his father's footsteps toward the rising suns" "He gets there at last" "The child gets there at last" "The child shoots a sun down with an arrow" "The sun loses its rays" "The dead sun becomes the moon" "He's a sun-shooting hero" "The sun-shooting hero is returning home" "The sun-shooting hero has come a long, long way" "The sun-shooting hero is home at last" "But the hero is already gray-headed" "I am drunk today" "I saw him on the way" "The boy from the freezing winter" "A fair-skinned boy like a budding pine leaf" "Let's dance together" "Let's enjoy ourselves" "I'm drunk today" "Young girls, let's dance together" "Surrender?" "Why should we surrender?" "We've had our enemy's sake wine." "Doesn't that mean conciliation?" "Why do we have to surrender?" " Tado..." " Say no more!" "Come on, drink with me." "Mahung, my little sister... it's much easier for me to die" "than for you to go on living." "But you must endure and have lots of children." "Teach them everything about the pride of our father." "Let your children have even more children and more and more..." "Mahung, have lots of children." "Raise them up to be proud Seediqs and to live on with pride." "Do you understand?" "Father, Baso and I... along with all our fallen people" "will be watching over you from the rainbow bridge." "Look!" "The sun is so beautiful." "Oh, my wife!" "ls the wine ready now?" "Here I come, my wife and children" "On my way to the heavenly home of our ancestors" "Wait a little longer for me please" "I'll be seeing you soon" "We're already on our way" "Oh my wife and children, wait a little longer" "Wait for us on the way to the heavenly home of our ancestors" "Oh my wife and children, wait a little longer" "We're almost there" "We're about to cross the road" "We'll be seeing you in no time" "Wait for us on the way to the heavenly home of our ancestors" "Oh my wife and children, wait a little longer" "We're almost there" "We're about to cross the road" "We'll be seeing you in no time" "Pihu Sapu was beaten up to death in the detention house after he got caught" "Tado Mouna and the last surviving warriors all committed suicide" "Mouna Rudo disappeared without a trace" "300 warriors against thousands of soldiers." "Those survived the battle killed themselves eventually." "Why did I see in such a remote mountain area in Taiwan the bushido of samurais that died over a century ago in Japan?" "Is it because the cherry blossoms here are far too red?" "No, these flowers have bloomed early this year." "It isn't the season of cherry blossoms yet." "After the incident..." "Kojima Genji instigated the Seediqs from Toda to revenge the death of their chief Temu Walis by killing all the remaining defenseless tribesmen staying in the shelter during the night" "Out of the way!" "Hurry up!" "The few surviving tribesmen were forced to relocate to a compound along Peikang River" "Out of the way!" "where the Japanese could monitor them easily" "They burned down all their remaining houses before they left" "Four years later..." "Mouna Rudo's remains were found inside a cavern, somewhere deep in the mountains" "Half of his body rotted to skeleton while the other half was weathered to a mummy" "In the following year... the Japanese publicly displayed his remains and weapons in a wooden crate at the exhibition celebrating the completion of Nenggao City Hall construction project" "After that, his remains disappeared once again at the heavenly home of our ancestors" "Yes, it's for real" "Reminisce the people from the past" "After the second disappearance" "Mouna Rudo's remains were recovered 39 years later in the specimen room of the College of Medicine in National Taiwan University" "Escorted by his offspring after 43 years, he finally returned to his hometown Wushe to be buried properly" "We go hunting in the mountains" "We share food in our clan" "We fetch water from the creeks" "I'm willing to give my life for these" "Oh, creek!" "Be quiet!" "Sisin babblers are singing" "Sing us a beautiful song please" "Sing for our people a song of our ancestral spirit" "I'm willing to give my life too" "When the lightening rifts the rock a rainbow appears and a proud man emerges" "A proud man emerges" "Who is this man so proud?" "It's your offspring" "A Seediq Bale" "Once upon a time on Mt." "White Stone there was a big tree called Pusu Qhuni." "The tree trunk... was half wood, half stone." "One day, a boy and a girl were born from the tree trunk." "Then the couple gave birth to lots of children and here we are, the Seediq Bale." "Behold!" "The beautiful rainbow over the hilltop" "My wife and children, have you brewed the wine?" "Drink it!" "The wine we offer to our ancestors' spirits" "Behold!" "What beautiful rainbow!" "My ancestors are calling me" "My wife and children!" "Are you on your way to meet our ancestors spirits?" "We should get going too" "Stand still, our people who keep the bloodline going" "We will be proud like a true Seediq" "Our bodiless spirits will be watching over you from the rainbow bridge" "Tell every child to live on forever" "To live on like a true Seediq" "Our bodiless spirits will keep you company in the woods" "Behold!" "What beautiful rainbow!" "My ancestors are calling me" "My wife and children!" "Are you on your way to meet our ancestors spirits?"
