As a common perception of social structure, Hakka fims is an important media through which the young generation receive, understand and construct the images of Hakka. The purpose of the article is to explore the preferred meaning hidden in the fim, Blue Brave: The Legend of Formosa 1895, and how the young audience interpret the fim. We use three research methods in this study, including text analysis, focus group discussions and interviews. The conclusion of the study is in three parts. Firstly, this film demonstrates the perfect image of a Hakka hero without human weaknesses, and a clear hierarchy based on ethnic backgrounds. Secondly, the Hakka youths are more critical of the image of the Hakka hero in the film—in a harsh and ironic way with and mockery— while the non-Hakka youths showed a more accepting attitude to the Hakka story and the Hakka hero. Thirdly, the Hakka youths have more resonance from their special Hakka pronunciation tone and culture conflcts in everyday life. Overall, the Hakka youths have the reflxive thinking based on life experiences and does do not take all the preferred meaning of Hakka story. |
