Banana Paradise (1989)

Watched this for my Taiwan history class. I was surprised by the little tidbits of humor throughout the movie.

It's heavy for sure, and honestly I didn't expect that it would cover such a long period of time. Thinking about it now, it's the only style that makes sense to put the entire movie within its changing historical and political context.

There were several moments throughout the movie where I definitely teared up, and for someone who didn't grow up so close to the subject, that means a lot.
