Excitement is in the air! 🎬 Today, December 12, viewers in the Chinese mainland can watch Taiwan's counter-Japanese epic "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale" in its complete two-part version for the very first time. Part I opens today, with Part II following on December 13.
Originally released in Taiwan in 2011, this powerful film tells the story of the indigenous Seediq people rising up against the harsh conditions of Japanese rule, showcasing themes of dignity, defiance, and sacrifice. When it first reached the Chinese mainland in 2012, audiences only saw a shortened 153-minute international cut.
Now, with both parts screened back-to-back, film lovers can dive deeper into this immersive saga and gain a fuller understanding of Taiwan's history. 📽️✨
Plus, this special release coincides with the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's recovery from Japanese rule and the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, adding even more historical resonance to every frame. 🌈🏹
Whether you missed it a decade ago or are discovering it for the first time, make sure to catch both parts this weekend and experience a truly epic tale!
