I'm not even sure how there could be something about Taiwan separation just from the first half I saw. But the film does feel very singularly Taiwanese, which I think was appreciated by most of the people who watched it. From what I saw, I completely agree.

This kind of speech ends up encouraging suppression of other opinions. Actually, I'm not the biggest fan of the film, either. It's a likable crowdpleaser, but I think there are a lot of weaknesses. However, the audiences happen to love the pleasing stuff so much that they're willing to overlook it. In other words, it's not stupid to dislike Cape No. 7. But to dislike it because of some political message that doesn't even exist is just pure paranoia that everything from Taiwan has to be about independence. It's just not what this film is. Hi, Dana,

I'm sure in all of China, there was bound to be somebody to talk about the ties to Japan. But And he is able to have his freedom of speech about entertainment. I tried watching it actually, and I only finished the first part. It was cute, but it wasn't something that I wanted to continue watching. I'm sure the second half is better so I'll watch that another day. Well, that was just one stupid person who disliked Cape 7.
