穿過婆家村

胡台麗 Tai-li HU 1997 台灣 彩色 87分鐘 DCP
現代化的衝擊下,傳統農村產業沒落,年輕人出走,土地被蠶食鯨吞。遠久以來,人們與土地相依的生活步調即將不復存在。由於東西向快速道路即將穿過劉厝村而過,本片作者胡台麗回到她的婆家村落劉厝,也是她十幾年前以外省媳婦身份進入的第一個人類學田野,為這個台灣農村留下變遷的容顏。全片以道路興建而引起的田地房舍徵收事件為貫穿主軸。隨著兩期稻作的時序轉換,以親切自然的風格,在日常生活儀節中呈現村人對土地、祖先、神鬼、婦女、都市化、工業化、村舍拆遷等的態度。導演透過影像尋找台灣人面對急遽變遷時的安身立命之道。

The East-West Highway was soon to be built in central Taiwan. It would pass through the village of Liu Ts'o, and many homes and rice paddies would be destroyed. The film maker went back to her mother-in-law's village Liu Ts'o, where she did anthropological research from 1976-78, to preserve some images of life forever. This film was shot in a natural and intimate climate. During the annual two harvests, various activities in daily life and festivals were presented in the film reflecting the villagers' attitudes towards 23 gods, ghosts, ancestors, women, farmlands, urbanization, industrialization, reclamation and resettlement. The film maker attempted to reveal the Taiwanese way of facing drastic social changes.
