Warriors of the Rainbows (2011)

I need to follow up on what I am reading and watching... So, I came across this movie and saw it. Sometimes curiosity has a high cost.

A chopped-off head of an enemy entititles you to a tatoo

The movie is about the Wushe Incident. This event may be known to specialists of Chinese history or scholars that know the history of the Japanese occupation of the occupation of Taiwan inside out, but to me it was new. History is a growing subject, the more you know of it, the bigger it grows. The movie is about The Seediq people, an indigenous people of Taiwan. Here would have been a good chance to learn something about a people, whose existence was unknown to me before. However, the only thing we really learn is, their hobby of cut off the heads of their enemies. In terms of ethnological insight this is a very insufficient result.
And the incident? We don't get any insight into the behaviour of this people. Some were obviously collaborating with the Japanese. By the way, the Japanese are portrayed as really nasty people. I am sure they behaved like that in real life and maybe even worse. The Seediq are generally called the savages, while the movie a bit follows that line - but adds the adjective 'noble', like the noble savages in Avatar - a people living in accordance with nature and all that.
The film comes in two parts, four hours of fighting and chopping off heads, sometimes aesthetically choreographed. This movie may be suited for those who love war movies -- so it was not for me, though the photography was nice. I'll give it 3/10.
