  • Its Pazu from Laputa!! <3!!

  • Agreed. Great movie. My grandad's been telling me stories of kidnappings and killings of Taiwanese intellectuals when he was a kid. Couldn't quite picture it until I watched this movie. This is an influential film that uncovers the hidden history of Taiwan (Formosa). A must watch movie. Support the awareness!

  • Formosa Foundation is promoting the movie which demonstrated they invested a lot of money in this film. Formosa Foundation is Chen Shui-Bian's pet organization. Chen scamed money from poor Taiwanese farmers and accepted bribe from rich business men.

    It's very possible that James van der beek is spending Chen's dirty money now. Since James spend money watching a Cardinal's game. Local people over there in Saint Louis is receiving dirty pay check.

  • I feel sorry that the Saint Louis Cardinals are receiving dirty money that Democratic Progressive Party scammed from poor farmers in Taiwan.

  • Great movie. I'm Canadian (living in Japan), and I had no idea about the depth of the issues between Taiwan/China. Amazing movie (especially considering I've been to Taipei a few times, and knew nothing of all this). Great to see Hollywood actors playing in films that actually have some relevance, instead of movies full of empty calories about vampires, Johns in uniforms, and other shit that has no value. Taiwan kicks ass! China can't even take care of their own people, why go after Taiwan?

  • Chen Shui-Bian's embezzled money is now in James Van Der Beek's hand. Does he feel ashamed for using dirty money?

  • nice.  watch the film. it's good for ya.

  • I saw this film at the Asian Film Festival In DC. I was impressed with the suspense and tension captured in this film. Actors' performances may not be Oscar-worthy of praise, but they succeed in making their roles credible and do make the viewers attentive to the screen. A very interesting film! Also, this film has surprisingly driven me to research, online, to see whether anything in this fiction film does relate to facts. And I was certainly amazed with my findings!

  • is there an interview with him about the movie "Taken in broad daylight" ?

  • "Formosa Betrayed"

  • I am really disappointed with how unprofessional James is. "I had no idea what happened in Taiwan in the 1880's". Please James, you are already doing a bad job promoting the movie with your poor knowledge of the movie background. Talking with 100 years off on the time setting is ridiculous. Please, as a professional actor, do some home work before speak to the media.

  • you can't blame him...o.o He's just a typical American actor, not Taiwanese... At least he's willing to take the role and have some knowledge about the history. It's the acting and the movie that should be professional so that hopefully, the audience can open their eyes. The trailer looks good enough..but I care about the movie more.

  • totally agree w you! I think he is really not enthusiastic about the movie he is acting !

    he sucks...

  • @mstaiwan520 how many Americans are aware of anything outside of their own fat asses? James can only do so much, I think. And Americans think you mean Thai when you say "I'm Taiwanese" or they think "that was given back to China right"?

    Americans are dumb ass shyts.

  • he says "1980s"

  • yeah, he says 1980s.

  • HE SAID 1980's idiot! Why the poopooing of this movie and the actor.  why your comments??? Van der beek states nothing of what you say! Lying sack of ----

  • @pyrococcus

    well ..

    He said, I HAD no idea what happened - until I made this movie.

    Which means he does know a little bit of background.

  • i loooove his eyes

  • Dear James Van Der Beek,

    I hope you can get a clearer picture of the importance of what you're doing.

    This story has indeed never been told, and the atrocities commited by the dictatorship in Taiwan during the White Terror have never really been exposed and judged. We are talking about the wrong done to thousands of people, jailed, or sometime murdered.

    This movie is, as many of us foreigners living in TW hope, a springboard to justice.

    Please put in your eyes the passion this topic deserve!
