¡Movie (Documentary)

 Description
[Machine Translation] A man who has been photographing from the sky every day for three years, risking his life to confront the land he loves. Director Chi Po-Lin, who has been taking aerial photographs as a government aerial photographer for more than 20 years, captures the present state of Taiwan in this documentary using the technique of aerial photography. --The camera drifts through the air, capturing various images of Taiwan. The beautiful mountains, sea, and countryside known as Formosa (Island of Splendor). On the other hand, it also brings into relief the reality of environmental destruction, such as white smoke emanating from factory chimneys and rivers flowing with factory effluent. However, the film also focuses not only on the natural environment, but also on people's lives and daily activities. In the final scene, aboriginal children proudly sing from the top of Taiwan's highest mountain, Jade Mountain (3,952 meters), as if it were a miracle.
