Good Concept, Weak Execution
is it fair for individuals to have to give up their own family bonds for the sake of the country?
At a national level, experiments are often carried out to achieve national goals. But when it comes to aiming for the top spot in the world, it means surpassing those ahead, and that doesn't come without sacrifices. In Taiwan, our semiconductor manufacturing prowess is a global strength. However, honestly speaking, without the substantial semiconductor design and material resources of powerful countries like Europe, America, and Japan, sacrificing a normal life and focusing on yield and manufacturing capabilities in Taiwan wouldn't be enough to reach that goal. Watching this film really hits close to home. Can't we just not let the concept of the nation be twisted by a few politicians? Sometimes, the idea of a 'nation' they talk about seems more like their own selfish desires within their fantasy bubble.
