“When The Wind Rises” is a film about the typical tragedy in the environmental justice movement of developing countries such as Taiwan. It’s a story about the last stubborn and kind-hearted person repeatedly tortured by the typical social movement plots over compensation payments. Inspired by the aesthetics of Ruben Östlund and Roy Anderson, this unconventional realism story, composed of a greedy corporation that uses variable compensation rates to alienate villagers and villagers swayed by profit, is very similar to our daily sensibilities as an artist and our current aesthetic predicament in our film industry. I put such sentiment in the narration, attempting to present a universal portrayal of the relationship between individuals and the collective in Taiwan. By using alienation aesthetic techniques, and adopting minimalist working methods rarely used in Taiwanese film sets, I want to tell this dark story with both a humorous undertone and an ironic touch at the same time.
