本片從台籍日本兵、雄中自衛隊與受難者遺族等受訪者的生命痕跡，記錄高雄地區從日治後期二戰到二二八事件下的歷史記憶。 自己非常喜歡這部作品從日常的尺度詮釋歷史的敘事方式，令人耳目一新。本片片名野番茄即點題創作者從野番茄、受訪者小時在防空洞基座上玩耍等日常記憶為觀看維度與紀錄切角，將這些微小的內容還原，成為重新認識這一段歷史的媒介。走出在國籍劃分、受難創傷的單一陳述之外，閱讀這些經歷這段歷史的人與經驗更豐富與立體的面向，讓人能在想像之外，在經驗的拼湊之中，能更接近這些記憶與真實的歷史樣貌。
1:54:51 「我很排斥，聽到報紙上面，或是網路上面講說『二二八受難家屬』這幾個字眼。從小到大，就算是很要好的朋友，幾乎很少人知道我是家屬。因為會讓我聯想到痛苦悲情。我自己其實本身是很排斥就是痛苦或悲情太久，陷在那個情緒當中。｣ 「我是第三代，我想要做得是，接受、放下，然後轉身，往前走去過我想要的生活。」 = 聽到這段話的時候覺得內心揪了一下，我覺得自己在面對這個議題的時候，就跟面對性暴力議題一樣，是很自私的。 我們這些局外人總是不希望當事人就這樣算了，我們希望他能打起精神，繼續對抗這些不義，繼續以親身經驗去反抗。因為我們相信，受害者的呼喊比起我們這些局外人，是更有力量也更有正當性的。 我們祈求公平正義得以透過受害者的現身而得到伸張。但卻不願意正視，很多受害者其實最想要的往往不是公平正義，而是一個從此風平浪靜的人生。而陷在受害者的身分裡去追求公平正義，只會徒增風浪。
1:37:52 想請問其他觀影的影友，此處受訪者講的烏青「累累」在台語用法是什麼？或是有漢字或拼音可以協助查詢？
1:15:07 此處受訪者說的應該是「插插插」，形容人多擁擠，而非吵鬧的「吵吵吵」。
54:01 那時的年紀關於生死也沒想過太多，就十幾歲。
53:46 (這段沒字幕)XXX作隊長，保護雄中和外面被人打的外省人和本省人我們都收容進學校裡面。

To feel indifferent to history is to feel indifferent to Taiwan. The year 2014 was a time of great upheaval in Taiwan—a year of radical change and explosive thought. For many, it was a moment to reexamine their relationship with this land and to delve deeper into the essence of what Taiwan truly is. It was also the year that Taiwan Bar and The Story were born. The right to speak for ourselves is something generations of Taiwanese people have long pursued. We hope to leave behind a work that is open to everyone—not just something for this generation, but a legacy passed from us to the next, and then on to many generations to come. Support the “New Taiwan History Movement” and help bear witness to Taiwan’s history!
Who writes history? Between authoritarian powers and those who resist, whose memories can speak for the truth? Revisiting history is not about vengeance—it is an act of reconciliation, a dialogue for coexistence. We can forgive, but we must not forget. Follow the once-silenced voices as they unveil the hidden truths of the past, cry out for justice, and refuse to be silent in the face of lies.
In resonance with the 2024 TIDF (Taiwan International Documentary Festival) theme, Giloo has curated 10 past TIDF nominated or award-winning films. We invite you to explore an alternative reality of the world through the lenses of labor, protest, and migration.

When the slogans fall silent and the crowds disperse, the events do not truly end. They remain in gravestones, letters, streets, and bodies, finding their voices again through the gaze of each new generation. Rather than closing the book on the past, these moving images ask: How do we remember those who were forced into oblivion? And in this unfinished present, how might we continue to imagine the possibility of living together?
Since its establishment in 1962, the Golden Horse Awards have not only represented the highest honor in Chinese-language cinema but also witnessed countless filmmakers grow from their first attempts to the shaping of distinctive artistic voices. This curated selection highlights six directors nominated this year — Shen Ke-shang and Pan Ke-yin for Best New Director, as well as Lee Chun-shek, Liao Ke-fa, Chong Keat-aun, and Tsao Shih-han for Best Director — revisiting their earlier, defining works. Through this collection, we invite audiences to rediscover how these filmmakers use cinema to respond to the self, society, and their times. By tracing their creative beginnings, we also glimpse the ever-evolving vitality of Chinese-language cinema.
Giloo presents a curated selection of finalists and award-winning works from the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF), capturing the trajectories of individual lives shaped by era shifts, social structures, and cultural traditions. The narrative scope expands from the frontlines of war and resistance to everyday anxieties, the complexities of tradition, and philosophical reflections on the soul. The lens shifts from macro-level upheavals to an intimate gaze. We witness individuals seeking exits from systemic oppression, debating existence through traditional rituals, and attempting to summon lost souls through song and imagination amidst the embers of trauma. This is a profound dialogue that delves into the subtle nuances of life, inviting you to experience the true weight of memory and action.
