일제강점기 대만의 한 농촌 마을, 가난한 농부 아파와 그의 가족은 하루하루를 힘겹게 살아간다. 전쟁과 식량 수탈로 삶은 점점 더 궁핍해지고, 마을 사람들은 생존을 위해 온갖 궁리를 한다. 어느 날 아파는 논을 지키기 위해 허수아비를 세우지만, 그것이 예상치 못한 소동을 불러일으키며 마을에 크고 작은 해프닝이 이어진다. 영화는 블랙코미디적 상황 속에서 식민지 현실의 부조리와 민중의 삶을 풍자적으로 그려내며, 웃음과 씁쓸함이 교차하는 이야기를 펼쳐 보인다.

흥미로운 사실

  • 수상: 1 · 노미네이트: 0. 주요 수상: Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film

Strawman is a 1987 Taiwanese film directed by Wang Toon. 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. The film received positive reviews from critics and won the Best Feature Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay in The 24th Golden Horse Awards.

Production

For Wang Toon the silent scarecrows in the movie represent the ordinary Taiwanese, inferior to the Japanese, under Japanese rule.

The disabled Taiwanese officer who served in the Japanese military is not played by an actor but a local villager at Su'ao, Yilan. During the shooting, Wang Toon insisted that the character of the wounded soldier be played by a disabled person. While the production team was having difficulty to find such an actor, they accidentally met the man in a Hotel near Su'ao. He became one of the significant characters in the movie.

Because of the language policy of Taiwan at the time when the film was made, the actors have to speak Mandarin in the whole film, despite the setting of the story being in a Taiwanese village. To be truthful to his own film, Wang Toon secretly produced a version of the film dubbed in Taiwanese, which is also the version that is digitally restored version of the film released in 2023 by the Taiwan Film and Audio-visual Institute.
