Strawman

Directed by Wang Toon, Strawman is a Taiwanese film released in 1987. It is the first feature of Wang's “Taiwan Trilogy,'' which also includes Banana Paradise and Hill of No Return. The film adopts a comic tone to depict the hardships of life as colonizers in rural Taiwan at the height of WWII. Though not an adaptation from nativist novel like Wang's acclaimed A Flower in The Raining Night, which is based on the namesake novel by Huang Chun Ming (黃春明), Strawman’s poor farmer family at Yilan’s Shuanglian Pi and the ridiculous journey to deliver an unexploded bomb are depicted very much in the style of Huang's nativist literature. The film won the Best Feature Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay in The 24th Golden Horse Awards.
