1. The February 28th incident was the day that martial law was declared over the newly freed Taiwanese people. The government did so when an anti-nationalist sentiment developed over the selection of an alternate national language as well as corrupt officials. The government began shooting and killing anyone who seemed capable of leading a rebellion.
2. The controversy around the treatment of the February 28th incident comes from the fact that the film actually discusses it. During this time no one would be mentioning it but this film caused a discussion to start about the incident.
3. That quote was a good description of what I experience in most movies but in A Time to Live and A Time To Die the idea is much more prominent. When we are hit with a scene and a space you instantly start asking questions (who, where, what are they doing/saying) and then you slowly get the details from that. At the end of the scene you get the idea and move on but in this film that could usually take longer.
