Racism will keep this movie from getting recognition it deserves.

This is an Epic movie and it's directed by John Woo. It's a story of Japanese imperialism, and it shows how non-whites are also villains.

Because it doesn't play to some white guilt story, the left-wing media won't give it any attention. Only whites can be the bad guys in their eyes.

As a malay, I feel this is the most important movie to have ever been released. Not only is it an inspiring movie, but it shows our original culture. I can trace my ancestry directly back to the Taiwanese tribes, as can many Malays.

It also shows the deep contrast between us and the Northerners--clearly displaying that we are a separate and unrelated people.

If you tought that the film was overlooked, you should have at least described it better by giving links to critics and stuff. The name of the movie is Seediq Bale (Sàidékè balái) and is actually both produced and directed by Te-Sheng Wei (John Woo being one of the producers).

Here some critics (seem well ranked) :
Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale (2011) - IMDb
Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale - Rotten Tomatoes
Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More - Metacritic

The only thing that will prevent me to watch it is its length : 270min.
I struggled to watch the whole Lord of the Ring movies because they were above 3 hour-long but this one is too much, sorry.

I can't remember a single Hollywood movie with a Japanese, or even a non-white villain. You're right! :ohhh:

Basically watched every foreign film on Netflix. Seen this months ago. Y would Hollywood make more than a few non white bad guys ? That wouldn't reflect reality. Movies made in Hong Kong, Thailand, etc, show Asians mostly Japanese as bad. If the story spills over into more modern times then the obvious evil will b white regardless where on Earth the film is made.
Some African movies have bad guys from other African nations w white people as an influence.
IP man is a good example. Japanese then "white devil" is what they call the bad guy in part two.
